Phoenix Rainbow Crosswalk

Multiple Locations

Downtown

One of the two rainbow sidewalks in Phoenix is located next to the  Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS. The center is pivotal in educating and testing anyone who believes they may have come into contact with a sexually transmitted disease.

This location is also next to the thriving Phoenix First Friday event; it has become one of the nation’s largest self-guided art walks. Enjoy the culture and spirit of downtown every first Friday of the month as thousands of Phoenicians take over the streets of downtown Phoenix for the art walk each month, viewing gallery exhibits, perusing funky boutiques and outdoor vendors and enjoying performers and indie bands.

Melrose

The Melrose area is usually the starting point for LGBTQ+ tourists and locals; the quintessential gayborhood of Central Phoenix.  It’s the one-mile stretch of Seventh Avenue between Indian School and Camelback  and is known for being LGBT-friendly. Melrose boasts eclectic shops and is home to many of Phoenix’s gay bars along the best S-curve in the Valley. The rainbow crosswalk is located at the 7th Ave and Glenrosa cross street.

Get Involved
