Celebrate community, creativity, and self-expression at the fifth annual Sauk Valley Pride Fest on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at Page Park in Dixon, Illinois. Hosted by Sauk Valley Pride, this growing regional festival brings together live entertainment, drag performances, music, vendors, food, and a welcoming atmosphere centered on inclusion and connection.

This year’s festival features special guest Coco Montrese from Season 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, along with Auntie Heroine from The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula Season 6 and a lineup of additional performers throughout the day. Visitors can also enjoy performances by Bentley Balenciaga, Apollo Summers, Akasha Voyer and hostess Barbara Busch Light, plus the return of the crowd-favorite Drag Battles competition. Live music and entertainment continue throughout the day with DJ Wayne and Alisabeth Von Pressley helping keep the energy going.

Festivalgoers can browse merchant vendors featuring art, clothing, jewelry, and more while enjoying food and drinks from local vendors. Now entering its fifth year, Sauk Valley Pride Fest continues to grow as one of the Sauk Valley’s most colorful and community-driven summer celebrations.
