Second Annual Pride in Bloom Celebration

Don’t miss our 2^nd annual Pride in Bloom on June 10-11. Our event will return with two full days of music, chef demos and local vendors. All partners are LGBTQ+ owned and operated, so support the community all weekend at the Dallas Arboretum! Watch this page for updates, and, as always, you can also bring your own picnic and settle in to the Dallas Voice’s Reader’s Voice award winner for Best Public Space, for a day of celebrating with friends and family.

Our Pride in Bloom mission is to highlight the unique & exceptional contribution of local LGBTQ+ artisans, entertainers and chefs in a weekend event for all community members to enjoy, in an effort to build lasting partnerships in our garden. Saturday’s events will kick off with a keynote from Robert Emory, President of The Dallas Way.
