PrideFest: The Party 2026

The Grand Finale!

Get ready for the biggest celebration of the year! To wrap up our milestone 5th anniversary, we are turning up the volume at Orchard West for the ultimate Sunday session - PrideFest: The Party.

Our auditorium will be fully transformed into a vibrant, decorated rainbow sanctuary for a day dedicated to unity, progress, and pure joy. Expect an electric atmosphere packed with:

• Non-Stop Stage Entertainment: High-energy performances running throughout the day.

• Live Music & Tributes: Incredible sets from talented vocalists and top-tier tribute acts.

• Food & Drink: A variety of refreshments available to keep the party going all afternoon.

• Festival Vibes: A fully decorated venue to provide the perfect backdrop for your Pride memories.

Your Fabulous Hosts

Leading the festivities we are thrilled to welcome back fan favourite Anton Stephans: The powerhouse vocalist and X-Factor star (also known as the Genie in our 2025 Aladdin Pantomime) returning to bring his incomparable energy to host the main stage alongside Sophia Stardust; Dartford’s very own local drag sensation. Sophia will be bringing the glamour, the wit, and the sparkles to our final celebration.

Line-up Coming Soon!

While our star-studded headline acts are currently under wraps, we promise a mix of national talent and local stars that reflects the incredible spirit of Dartford. Stay tuned for the full reveal!
