Pride Without Police - 2026
Date:Sunday June 21st, 3pm-9pm
Location:Cottonwood Park at 1600 W North Star Drive, Salt Lake City
pride without police is an all ages pride event held annually with performances from local artists, music, workshops, art, zines, education, and more!
we reject the capitalist assimilation of pride. we believe the utah pride center's insistent inclusion of police, real estate investors, petroleum refineries, and military contractors gives power to the very entities driving the oppression of trans and queer people.
we need volunteers!!!
sign up for a volunteer slot here :)

Thank You For Your Support
thank you to everyone who has ever donated to us. people’s financial support allows us to keep our programs running, build new community fridge structures, and throw events like pride without police. we are proud to offer an accessible, all-ages event, with local performers, organizations, artists, vendors, and free food for everyone.
points of unity
our goal is to put on an event centered around our collective liberation.
agitation – we are inspired by the revolutionary trans, queer, black, and brown folks who came before us. our liberation is a continuation of an international movement against capitalism and imperialism
intersectionality – disability justice is a queer issue. trans, disabled people began the riot we now call pride. we hope to make pride without police more accessible every year. we listen to feedback, and will continue to adapt
solidarity – this event is a continued effort to grow connections with one another, and empower folks to take action
