Pacific Pride Festival
The Pacific Pride Festival returns to Santa Barbara's waterfront for a day of community, celebration, and collective movement. This year's theme, "Out. Proud. Unstoppable.", honors living authentically and moving together as a community.
The 2026 festival will be held at Chase Palm Park and features Ada Vox as Festival Headliner, Morgan McMichaels as Special Guest Host, and Vivian Storm as Official Festival Host.
The event includes collaborations with the Santa Barbara Museum of Art on a collaborative weaving installation and Quilt Project Gold Coast's AIDS Memorial Quilt display. Past festivals have included a Family Zone, Kids Stage, petting zoo, 21+ Beer Garden, Pride Pet Parade, vendor village, and 25+ main stage performances spanning drag, bands, and dance crews.
