The biggest night of drag in Montana brings performers from across the state and the northwest US, right to our capital city, to show you real entertainment and a just unbelievably great night.

Hosted by Hexx Shadow, Christina Drake, and Diana Bourgeois, it’s a night filled with the antics and talent of our community, in a show that welcomes everyone.

All ages, outside. You don't want to miss this.

It’s time to march! Leaving from Anchor Park and walking down Last Chance Gulch to the MainStage at 400 N Last Chance Gulch, it’s the most colorful parade of people around!

Glitz!

Glam!

Godsbedamned good times!

So grab your most colorful outfits, and shake and shimmy yourself down the gulch to the best party in the state!

The parade ends but the music starts. Join in the fun, enjoy the music, and grab some food, drink, and stop by the booths for Pride, and the shops and stores and restaurants and cafés of Helena for a bit of a respite before the Big Show!

Featuring Montana local superstar DJ Jenn+Juice!

These boots are made for walking. So are these shoes. And these sandals. And these flip-flops. Hell, even those tap shoes are welcome! Time to cover your hooves and march on down the street. Join us in Anchor Park starting at 3:30 pm and bring all your friends.

All of them!

It’s time to show the world a bit more queer joy!

Join Eunice & Cordelia at the MT Book Co for a story hour with more color and love than you can imagine!

Join the daddies, pups, boys, and toys of the House of Neverland & Mountain Collective for a casual gathering on the patio of the Rialto. Every adult is welcome to come hang!

It’s time for a hang and some games for our Two Spirit, nonbinary and transgender folks, so stop on in at The Mill from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm for a chill time and some fun!

Transvisible Montana invites you to their presentation on all things gender and what that actually means. Presented by Trans, Non-binary, and Two Spirit Montanans, come learn what you didn't know you needed to know!

Start the biggest day of Pride off right with a brunch. What could be gayer?

How about a burlesque brunch? It is! And it’s here for you!

The menu for this brunch includes:

The Eggs Bennie Bar with English muffins, Canadian bacon, Prosciutto, smoked salmon, eggs, tomatoes, avocado, red onion, capers, spinach, chives, hollandaise sauce.

Scrambled eggs,

Breakfast meats.

Assorted breads and muffins

Mixed fruit.

There is a full-bar as well, and we’ll have mimosa flavorings to charge up your morning, too!

Must be 21+ for this brunch, and tickets are available now!

Join Christina Drake as she shows us exactly why, when the sun reaches a certain point in the sky, everyone looks beautiful. (We keep telling her that’s a moonless midnight but she insists on this!)

Once again the drag community of Montana converges on the capital city to cast its spell on the state and give us some new life, some new love, and maybe some new liquor.

Well, no, you have to pay for the liquor. And be over 21.

BUT STILL! FUN!

Doors at 7pm, 18+ to enter, 21+ to drink, and it’s a $10 cover for the show. (That cover gets you into any of the three tho, so it’s not that bad)

The legendary Diana Bourgeois has gathered her cast of diamonds and rowdies for another night of festive performances guaranteed to make the Guiness Book of World Records. (Do they give a prize to thickest foundation application by a drag queen? Asking for a friend.)

Join Hexx Shadow as she conjures up a night of veritable merriment and maybe brings back some of the undead. It could happen.

One of the most fascinating things about Montana’s comedy scene is that an unreal amount of it is queer. And super talented. And just fun to be around.

And even better, this show slots in nicely between some of the more educational programs we have and the absolute madness that is our drag shows tonight.

Yes, my friend, you can do it all! So come giggle and brighten your life with some of the funniest queers on the planet!

We’re super excited to have GoldyVox playing on the Walking Mall for Pride - Live music! Good times! And you know it’s going to be fun because it’s always fun with all of us!

Presented by the Lewis & Clark County Democrats, join hostess Onyx Echo as she asks our candidates and elected officials just what in the hillabeans is going on right now, and how can the LGBTQIA+ community fight back against the bigotry and thoughtlessness of the fascists! Plus, let’s be honest, no one gave Onyx a script, so she’s just going to go off the rails and ask the questions we all have but have never asked.

Train. Meet wreck.

But in the best way ever.

Trust us, you’ve never seen politics like this, and perhaps, it’s just what we all need.

Join the fine folks from Catalyst MT as they give us some insight on what we can do to work with our legislative representatives and senators in the coming session because the people who want us gone keep trying to make us leave, and while we just want to dance, we know we have to stand together and fight for our rights.

Again.

And the more we do now, the less we’ll make those who come after us have to deal with.

You’ve skipped out of work and it’s time flamer on! Glitz! Glamour! And maybe some gassy queens to make you laugh! Swing down to the Walking Mall where we’ll have a merch table with all the swag you need, along with info on all the events happening and what you need to know to have the bestest times with the bestest frens.

(that hurt to type)

But still, it’s gonna be fun!

It’s our Annual night of testing your knowledge of random facts from around everything queer, and adding in some fun numbers from the best of the drag performers in Montana. And it’ll be a night of glitz, glam, and goddammit-donut-I-knew-it-was-Nixon!

Six people will get that joke.

Trivial, really.

Meta, too.

Anyway, come hang, play, and have a great time in a fun space with all your queer friends! Promise that someone will win! Oh, and if you want to reserve your table in advance, you can do that, too!

Grab your friends and your daubbers and your glitter and your best eyes as you’ll want a few cards, and you’ll win some great stuff! It’s a night of fun and frivolity where the only think you have to remember is how to mark a square and read a few letters and numbers! Easy!

And it’ll be a delight to do, too!

Celebrate Pride with an evening inspired by the iconic Catherine O'Hara—beloved for her unforgettable characters, quick wit, and fearless embrace of individuality. Whether you adore Schitt's Creek, Best in Show, Beetlejuice, or her many other legendary roles, this is your chance to channel a little Moira Rose-level creativity. Join us at the studio for a unique event where you can create a masterpiece while enjoying themed food, colorful vibes, and plenty of laughs. Come dressed in your favorite Catherine O'Hara-inspired look (or simply wear your brightest Pride colors!) and answer trivia for a chance to win a fun prize. This event is open to everyone—fans, friends, families, and allies alike. Celebrate self-expression, creativity, and community in a welcoming space where, as Moira might say, it's perfectly acceptable to be "bébé" dramatic. No painting experience is necessary. All pottery supplies are included—just bring your fabulous self and your imagination!

All Attendees Must Be Registered
Date: August 6
Time: 5:30-8
Cost: $15 + your project

All your friends like to grab a mic and be the center of attention, and let’s be real, some of them can sing. Some of them can commit war crimes. It takes all types, but regardless, grab your rainbowed baddies and head down to the Western and grab that mic and scream out whatever song makes your little heart pitter-patter.

We totally bet it’s going to be “What’s going on?” by Four NonBlondes.

We’ll see you there!

Climb with Pride!

Celebrate Pride at Stonetree Climbing Center’s “Climb with Pride” Event! We’re hosting an

evening of climbing, community, and fun on Wednesday, August 5th, from 5:00–9:00 PM.

Whether you're a seasoned climber or trying it for the first time, everyone is welcome to

celebrate in an inclusive, supportive environment. Come engage, enjoy, and belong.

Take advantage of Buy One, Get One Passes all evening. It is the perfect opportunity to bring a

friend and experience our gym together.

Show off your Pride by wearing your brightest, boldest, and most colorful outfit. We'll be holding

a “Best Dressed” outfit contest, so don't be afraid to get creative.

Climb the rainbow with our colorful routes and join in some friendly competition for giveaway

prizes.

Come climb, celebrate, make new friends, and help us create a space for everyone. We can't

wait to see you at Stonetree!

Come down to the Myrna for our annual showing of three drag queens who conquer rural America in their finest shoes and some fringe, feathers, and fabulousness!

This year, we’re asking that you donate some luggage - new or lightly-used-but-still-in-working-order as we’re helping CASA of Lewis & Clark and Broadwater Counties make sure that any kids entering the foster system at least have a way to keep their belongings with them easily.

Ticket available at the Myrna’s website.

Join the crew from the Painted Pot and all your friends and make some new friends at our annual Game Night and Tie Dye extravaganza! Bring your item to dye or buy a shirt at the event, bring a game, find a game, bring your friends, find more friends, and have a blast, a beverage, and a bloody great time!

Join us for the Community Monday at the Blackfoot where you can just chill with your friends and $1 of every beverage goes to support Montana Pride!

Right after the brunch gets you pumped up for the week, maybe you need to stretch and relax a bit, and why not just venture out onto the lawn and join Gentle Healing, Mt Kush, LCBC and Mt Cannabis Magazine for an amazing, inclusive, yoga session to really start the week off right!

After you’ve made it to bed* you can snooze a bit and then pop over to the Gentle Healing downtown studio at the Holter and join the crew for a restorative yoga class FREE! The team at Gentle Healing have been great supporters for years—of Montana Pride, of the LGBTQIA+ community, of taking time for yourself. You know, the good stuff. And this is just one more way to make sure that you, yes you, feel ready to take on the world.

*or not. we’re not going to judge… this time.

This is it! It’s time for every member of the LGBTQIA+ community to gather for a celebration of all we are and all we bring to this life. We are the artists, the culturistas, the leaders, the creatives, the brilliance and sass that all those boring people wish they were—and they keep trying to keep us down. They’ve been attacking our community since we first burst out of the closets and they are getting especially bold recently. They want us to cower and hide. They want us silenced. They want us gone.

While we could just tell them where they can go, we choose to spend our time celebrating and expressing the boundless joy that we have. And they should remain thankful becuase last time we checked there are a few other so-called sins that we might choose instead.

The absolute Wrath of Glam collected for this stage will also be in the history books on the right side of history. You should be there, too.

This is an all-ages show, free to the public, and we welcome our friends and allies to join us. And while it’s free to enjoy, it’s not free to put on, so please consider donating to Montana Pride.
