The 2026 Pride Parade will primarily be a walking parade, with space for bikers, thanks to Newport Pride’s partners at Bike Newport. The route will take attendees from the Great Friends Meeting House (Newport Pride Center) starting at 11 a.m. and all the way through historic Newport landmarks like Equality Park, home to the first Pride Fests, surrounded by the rainbow crosswalks. Newport Pride invites attendees to create signs or carry anything that shares a message of hope, joy, and resilience for the community.

The Pride Festival 2026 takes place from 12 p.m to 5 p.m., filled with vendors, performances, food trucks, and fun!
