This season our Legacy Awards encompasses a series of celebrations, streaming benefit and drive-in premieres.
Every year Outfest and the community come together to honor our bold, courageous, and creative storytellers of the year for our annual Legacy Awards. This season we bring on some of the biggest names in entertainment, world premieres from Amazon & Hulu, and a streaming benefit variety show featuring stars of television and film. This year we will reaffirm the importance of Outfest and our mission to champion the creative and diverse voices of the global LGBTQIA+ community and protect our history for future generations.
Hosted & Music Performance by

Outfest Now
