We can’t wait to see you this year at Aurora Pride! Our event will be taking place August 30 from 11a.m. – 7 p.m. at Fletcher Plaza in downtown Aurora. Here are all the ways you can enjoy Aurora Pride!
Mainstage Outdoor Area
All of our main programming will take place outside at Fletcher Plaza right in front of the library off of Colfax and in the surrounding area. Colfax will remain open, but side streets will be closed off. At our outside area, you can check out all the mainstage entertainment, shop our queer bazaar vendors, check out our sponsors, and visit our food area, which will be representing diverse food concepts from across the globe. If you’re 21+, you can also visit the X Bar to get a beer or canned cocktail.
Death in Drag Takeover at Manos Sagrados
Those 21 and over looking for a bit more spicy entertainment will love our special adults-only space in Manos Sagrados. Featuring the only bar at Aurora Pride to do mixed drinks with liquor, burlesque and drag on stage all day, as well as some hard-hitting punk, and NSFW vendors, check out our Death in Drag room and get weird with it!
Haus of Other’s Rainbow Cove at The People’s Building
If you’re not drinking alcohol, or just want a break from the fun in the sun, check out Haus of Other’s Rainbow Cove takeover at The People’s Building, featuring mocktails curated by The Alexander Foundation, slam poetry, and music. The space will be positively transformed into a queer aquatic paradise, your very own oasis at Aurora Pride.
After-Hours Entertainment
For the first time ever, Aurora Pride will be keeping the party going well after hours with our special late-night programming. Hang out at Manos Sagrados for some drinks and dancing, or head to The People’s Building to catch Two Cent Lion putting on a queer play. You can also see a queer movie at The Fox Theater. Or just stay in the neighborhood and check out some of the local spots!
