NoCo Pride (Northern Colorado Pride)

NoCo Pride is a community Pride celebration organized by Northern Colorado Equality. The 2026 edition runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Fort Collins Senior Center. It features local performers, food trucks, artists exhibiting LGBTQ+ history, vendors, and a kids area.

NoCo Pride is organized by Northern Colorado Equality, a group that works to empower LGBTQIA+ people and allies through activities, programs, services and education, and that treats honoring and celebrating the community's diversity as its central principle. The organizers made several changes for the 2026 event and published their reasoning for attendees.

The festival is held at the Fort Collins Senior Center at 1200 Raintree Drive. It is a clear bag event, with bags checked by security at the entrance; medically necessary bags are allowed after screening. No alcohol is permitted, and anything alcoholic must be discarded. Food trucks aim to cover most dietary restrictions, and guests are welcome to bring their own food in case vendors run out. The program also includes community-building activities, and organizers keep FAQ and accessibility pages that are updated as the event approaches.

Pride events celebrate LGBTQ+ people and mark the Stonewall uprising of June 1969. Most combine a parade or march with a festival of performers, community groups, vendors and food.
