X Fest 2026

X FEST 2026: SURVIVE & THRIVE | June 22, 2026 - June 28, 2026 Celebrating 15 Years on Colfax for Pride In a world that keeps trying to write us out of the script, we’re continuing to stay in the spotlight—and rewriting the whole damn show. X Fest 2026 is your official invitation to survive, thrive, and SLAY! X Fest 2026 is all about celebrating what it means to survive—and thrive—as a vibrant, unstoppable LGBTQIA+ community—even when the powers that be are doing… whatever it is they think they’re doing. Expect a weekend of bold performances, local queer talent, and community energy that hits different when it’s truly FOR us, BY us. We’re keeping it rooted, real, and proudly homegrown—because where we invest our love (and our dollars) matters. Check out our AMAZING local lineup below! Come for the celebration, stay for the solidarity, and leave feeling louder, prouder, and just a little bit more unstoppable. Whether you’re here to dance it out or simply exist in a space that gets it, come through, show out, and remind the world: we’re still here, still shining, and still not going anywhere. It's going to be a blast, so get your 3 Day GA/VIP Fast Passes or Single Day Passes today! We've also got our Cabana Rentals up for sale too. All you have to do is purchase the cabana reservation spot you would like and then you'll get an e-mail from our management team by June 17, 2026 to confirm all details. ENTRY TICKETS ARE SOLD SEPARATELY FROM CABANA RESERVATIONS!
