Step right up to the city’s official LGBTQ celebration – where the sequins shine with 2024’s theme “Queer Cabaret: Unleashed Glamour + Glitz.” According to Austin Pride’s description, this theme is all about “embracing the theatrical, the bold, and the beautiful.” Headlining up the Fiesta Gardens festival portion of Pride is rapper Saucy Santana, who is joined on the lineup by Mariah Balenciaga, Isabella Lovestory, Arya, Salina EsTitties, Kerri Colby, and Adore Delano. Parade-wise, this year’s grand marshals include local legends World Famous *BOB*, Morgan Davis, and County Judge Andy Brown. Dress up; have fun; and enjoy all the free corporate swag that’ll clutter your room for months to come. – James Scott
