2026 LGBTQ+ and Cultural Calender

Celebrating and commemorating the important dates

There are so many days, weeks, and months to celebrate in the LGBTQ+ community that we practically need a second calendar. And since nobody is just one thing—shout out to #intersectionality—we’ve included cultural observances, too.

Full disclosure: We’re based in the US, so this list is heavier on the Stars and Stripes than international dates. We adore our global community, but as the saying goes, "write what you know." We’re staying in our lane to bring you the best info possible!

Real talk: Do we want you to buy our adorable wall calendar? Obviously. But we also hate gatekeeping. Since finding all these dates in one place is surprisingly difficult (so many hours searching and validating), consider this page a free resource for the fam 🌈
