Peacock in the Park
The beloved LGBTQ+ variety show brings the glamour to Washington Park.
Know Before You Go
The 2020 Peacock in the Park event has been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. For the most up-to-date information, please visit the Peacock in the Park website.
Sequins, boas and a rainbow of talent mark the triumphant return of LGBTQ+ variety show Peacock in the Park each June.
Founded in 1987, this free, all-ages, family-friendly event ran for 18 years until it was replaced in 2005 by the Peacock After Dark show. In 2014, in response to popular demand, the Peacock went back to the park — Washington Park, that is. Anyone is welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy on-site, including beer and wine (just no hard liquor). Peacock in the Park is free, but attendees are encouraged to donate to the Audria M.
