Dallas Pride 2020 Goes Virtual
DALLAS, Texas (May 15, 2020) - Dallas Pride is reimagining its 2020 event, “The Pride of Texas.” With health and safety of its community, friends, supporters, and allies top of mind, the Dallas Pride Board of Directors made the decision to move the event from a physical presence at Fair Park to a virtual celebration for 2020, with the intent of resuming in-person events in subsequent years.
“The LGBTQ+ community has always become more resilient in the face of uncertainty, and we are doing that today in the midst of this pandemic,” Jaron Turnbow, executive director of Dallas Pride, noted. “Pride is not just about one event; it’s about celebrating a spirit of community that no virus can destroy. It’s an exciting prospect to reach an even bigger audience virtually, and to bring our message to the living rooms of supporters across the DFW Metroplex and beyond in an inclusive way.”
Dallas Pride is creating a celebration across digital platforms, and will be announcing further details soon. To learn more about Dallas Pride, get updates, and be added to the email list, please follow us on all our social media channels.

Statement from Dallas Pride
Dallas Pride stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. Our founders fought against police brutality at Stonewall just as police oppression against people of color and other marginalized communities is still being battled today. Racial injustice, systemic racism and any form of oppression cannot be accepted, and neither can the senseless killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and so many others. While we are not able to host an in-person event in 2020 for Dallas Pride or for Black Lives Matter due to health concerns related to the COVID pandemic, we stand together with our Black community, with our friends, neighbors, volunteers, supporters and allies, in the vision of a nation where there truly is liberty and justice for all.
