Durham Pride 2026

Saturday, October 3, 2026
10am Eucharist at St. Joe’s • Parade at noon

Three women and one man stand outside smiling. One woman holds a pride flag, and another wears a rainbow floer lei.

Get ready for Durham’s annual Pride Celebration! Grab your rainbow gear and join us in representing A Church for All People.

The day begins with the Pride Eucharist at St. Joseph’s, with our own Gabe Lamazares celebrating. After worship, we’ll walk together to Duke East Campus to march in the Durham Pride Parade.

Come for the Eucharist, the parade, or both.

Pride Eucharist

The words "Pride Eucharist" are superimposed over a rainbow background; below the title is a white graphic of bread and a chalice. The location and date are written at the bottom.

St. Joseph’s, Durham, will host the annual Durham Convocation Pride Eucharist – a service of Worship, Communion, and Queer Joy – in the upstairs chapel in the parish house. The offertory will go to the LGBTQ Center of Durham.

After the Eucharist, we’ll walk together to the parade line-up at adjacent Duke East Campus.

A white woman with short hair and sunglasses smiles at the camera while wearing a white t-shirt with a rainbow "worship • love • action" logo and marching in the pride parade carrying rainbow streamers.
