Hurricane Florence Update:  No storm damage to the Northern Outer Banks.  Pridefest will go on as scheduled!

PRIDE PASSES ARE NOW SOLD OUT, which only means that the booze cruise is full, BUT all the other events are still available for purchase.  Friday and Saturday night shows can be purchased on this website but the drag brunch is only available to purchase at the door on Sunday morning, Sept. 23rd.

The board of directors of OBX Pride, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit charity, is thrilled to present the 8th Annual Outer Banks Pridefest! OBX Pridefest is fast approaching! Start making your plans now! Join us Sept. 21-23, 2018 for a whole weekend of festivities! The main event of the festival will be held Saturday afternoon at the Soundside Event Site in Nags Head, NC. Click at the bottom of this page to join our Facebook family and keep up with news and updates about the festival.  

Some important information about the festival events:

• There is a cover charge for each event except for the Saturday music festival at the Soundside Event site. Save some money and purchase a Pride Pass! A Pride Pass will get you into ALL of the Pridefest events for one set price and is cheaper than paying at each event separately. If you attend all paid events, purchasing a Pride Pass will save you $25 over the total of individual cover charges. 
• The Outer Banks Pride festival on Saturday afternoon is FREE, as always, and will be located at the Soundside Event site, 6800 South Croatan highway,(hwy 158) in Nags Head.  NO COOLERS are allowed at the Saturday event! There will be beer and wine and food vendors. You MUST show a photo ID to drink alcohol.  Please bring cash with you, as all vendors may not be able to accept credit card payments. 
• The sunset booze cruise on Friday evening ( only serving beer and wine) is included with a Pride Pass. If you do not have a Pride Pass, the cost is $50 for this 2-hour cruise with DJ Amy.
• Some of our events are offered separately for purchase through this website, however, you can pay the cover charge at the door for any event. 
• All daytime events are family-friendly.  Evening events are NOT!  Events inside restaurants are age 18 and above only, with ID check at the door. All events except the cruise and the music festival are inside restaurants.
  
• Our early bird special for Pride Passes ends at midnight, August 15th.  The $100 discounted price will return to $125 after that.  Pride Passes will be sold out after 80 passes sold, so don’t wait!  After 80 sold, the booze cruise is sold out but single tickets can still be purchased at the door of the other events or through this website except for the brunch.
