Gay events phoenix az

If you’re more in the mood for a cozy hangout, Bar 1 is your go-to spot with its palm-shaded patio, pinball games, and a chill, neighborhood vibe. Please see our Information Booth (with the interpreter symbol) near the Main Entrance to get an “Accessibility Area Wristband” for entry into the Main Stage Accessibility Viewing Area.

But don't let that stop you it has a thriving gay community and there's a growing variety of dining and nightlife options for all types here. This quiet zone is near the lake, fenced off from the rest of the festival grounds. The rainbow crosswalk is located at the 7th Ave and Glenrosa cross street. It provides a comfortable atmosphere, friendly staff, and a jukebox for music enthusiasts.

The Melrose District on Seventh Avenue is a hub for lgbtq+Q+ 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+Q+ events and culture, visit the Greater Phoenix Equality Chamber of Commerce, Phoenix Pride, Pride Guide Arizona or ION Arizona magazine and mobile app.
