UMLAUF After Dark: Pride!

UMLAUF After Dark: Pride! is turning the UMLAUF Sculpture Garden + Museum into a glowing queer-friendly wonderland of art, music, and community connection on Tuesday, June 2, 2026 at 7:00 pm.

Wander the garden’s twisting paths as the sculptures light up the night, surrounded by special Pride-themed activations and installations that highlight LGBTQIA2S+ creativity. This is one of those evenings where you can soak up culture and still feel like you’re at a party with friends.

• Celebrate LGBTQIA2S+ talent: The night centers queer artists and performers, showcasing a mix of visual art, immersive installations, and live performances that turn the garden into an open-air gallery and stage.

• Three live music sets: Enjoy a rotating lineup of musicians bringing everything from mellow vibes to danceable grooves, giving you a new soundtrack as you explore different corners of the garden.

• Art under the stars: Experience the UMLAUF’s iconic sculptures in a whole new way after dark, with creative lighting and Pride-inspired touches that invite you to linger, look closer, and snap a few photos.

• Community in full color: Local LGBTQIA2S+ organizations and community partners will be on-site, offering resources, conversation, and chances to plug into Austin’s queer community beyond the event.

• Sips & bites included: Complimentary specialty cocktails keep spirits high, while food from The King’s Butler and Butlerette offers tasty fuel for an evening of exploring, chatting, and dancing between sets.

• Member perks: UMLAUF members get free early access from 6:00 to 7:00 pm, making it easy to enjoy a more relaxed stroll through the garden before doors open to the public at 7:00 pm.

• Easy to join in: Tickets will be available at the door, so you can make a spontaneous Pride-week decision to head over with friends or fly solo and meet new people.

Whether you’re an art lover, a live music fan, or simply looking for a welcoming Pride event that feels both festive and laid-back, UMLAUF After Dark: Pride! serves up a uniquely Austin blend of culture, nature, and queer joy—all under the evening sky.
