2026 Baltimore BLAQ Pride ICON Awards

Get ready for a full night of performances, live music, a silent auction, and community love on stage at the Parkway Theatre. The ICON Awards have been THE night Black LGBTQIA+ Baltimore comes together to celebrate our own — the trailblazers, the torchbearers, the ones who show up for this community when no one's watching, and the ones who light up every room they walk into. This year, join us live on stage at the Parkway Theatre. Come honor Baltimore's Icons. Come be dazzled. Come be part of the wonder. Dress Code: Think formal meets fantastical. Think Avant-garde, imaginative, and fantasy-driven. Bring your most iconic interpretation of WONDALAND to life. This is your invitation to dream bigger, dress bolder, and show up as the most iconic version of yourself. TICKETS General Admission: Standard admission to the ICON Awards Show. BLAQ Equity Builder: Go all in on the wonder. This tier includes priority entry at 5:30 PM, priority seating area, a complimentary bar, an exclusive gift bag, and a social media shoutout — plus a portion of every ticket goes directly toward providing free/low-cost tickets to community members in need. • Early Release pricing until Sept. 7th • Prices increase on Oct. 9th Discounted tickets are reserved for community members for whom cost is a genuine barrier to attending. If that's you, please email [email protected] to request access — we ask that these spots be left for those who need them most.
