LGBTQ+ Phoenix

Greater Phoenix’s fusion of natural splendor and metropolitan verve sets it apart from a lot of big cities — and everyone is invited to experience it. As you explore the city's urban core, you'll discover a strong LGBTQ+ community that's integrated throughout the area's businesses, spaces, events and entertainment.

• For the tenth consecutive year, Phoenix earned a score of 100 — the highest score possible — on the Human Rights Campaign's 2022 Municipal Equality Index Scorecard.

• Join us for Phoenix's nationally-recognized annual LGBTQ+ events, including the Phoenix Pride Festival and the Rainbows Festival.

• During the day in Phoenix, choose from outdoor activities, luxurious spa treatments, shopping at local boutiques or exploring the arts and culture.

• At night, the city comes alive with vibrant LGBTQ+ nightlife. The Melrose District on Seventh Avenue is a hub for LGBTQ+ businesses and such clubs as Charlie’s and Stacy's @ Melrose — both of which landed on our list of must-see drag shows.

• For more information on LGBTQ+ events and culture, visit the Greater Phoenix Equality Chamber of Commerce, Phoenix Pride, Pride Guide Arizona or ION Arizona magazine and mobile app.
