About This Event

OUTfest is a first-of-it's-kind City of Pittsburgh Celebration that focuses on the unique culture and spirit of Pittsburgh’s LGBTQIA+ Community. Inspired by similar festivals that take place in other cities throughout the country, Mayor Gainey seeks to highlight Pittsburgh's local LGBTQIA+ community to uplift and highlight their impact and contribution to our beautiful city.

Taking place on October 11th 2025, which also coincides with "National Coming Out Day," OUTfest a invites and welcomes all people to come together to celebrate what makes us all unique and to be our authentic selves. We encourage you to bring your friends, family, and loved ones to enjoy local performances, engage with a range of organizations, purchase goods from small businesses to support our local economy, and enjoy everything our LGBTQIA+ community has to offer!

For those who are interested in performing, being a vendor, or volunteering for the event, see our "get involved" section on this page.

OUTfest is a FREE event and there is no registration or RSVP required to attend!
