Pride Month is here, and you know what that means! You get to celebrate in a number of ways here in Tucson, whether it’s with bar crawls, performances, or bazaars held by the Tucson LGBT Chamber of Commerce, there are events to enjoy in all shapes and forms. If you’re ready to look for the best Pride-friendly events in Tucson, here’s your go-to list!
June 18, Pride Bar Crawl
John Henry’s Bar, 117 N 6th Ave, Tucson, AZ 85701
Drinking together is always a great way to celebrate — and the same is true during Pride. If you’re down for at least a couple drinks, amazing local food, and waived cover fees at various venues, this is a great time to celebrate. If that doesn’t convince you, remember that Downtown Tucson’s fifth annual Pride Crawl donates a portion of the proceeds to the Trevor Project, an important cause preventing suicide efforts in the LGBTQ+ community. Be a part of the community and donate to a great cause — and enjoy the atmosphere while you’re at it.
RuPaul’s Drag Race Viewing Parties
Sky Bar Tucson, 536 N 4th Ave, Tucson, AZ 85705
Not just June, but every Friday during the show’s season, watch Mama Ru get her girls to lip sync for their lives. Enjoying something simple like a bunch of other RuPaul fans all in one place is what Pride is all about!
June 25, Coming Unscrewed for PRIDE
Unscrewed Theater, 4500 E Speedway Blvd #39, Tucson, AZ 85712

June 25, Queer Bazaar

The Queer Bazaar is being held this June to benefit the Thornhill Lopez Center on 4th and the National Center for Transgender Equality — making all this shopping and eating a very worthy venture indeed!
