Love Fest returns to City Center for another unforgettable year of celebrating LGBTQ+ love, community, and joy. Love Fest was built to fill a gap because too many Valentine’s Day spaces still don’t reflect the lives, relationships, and families in our community.
This year’s celebration brings the heat with striking burlesque performances from Champaign-Urbana’s own Carnivale Debauche, paired with a high-energy soundtrack from DJ Silkee. Together, they’ll set the tone for a night that’s bold, fun, and full of life.
Love Fest is for couples, singles, polycules, chosen families, and anyone who believes love deserves to be celebrated openly and without apology. City Center will once again become a space where everyone can show up as themselves and feel genuinely welcomed.
By attending Love Fest 2026, you’re also supporting Uniting Pride’s work at a time when community spaces and advocacy are needed more than ever.
Join us for our most dynamic Love Fest yet. Tickets are limited — and this is one celebration you won’t want to miss.
