LA Pride 2024 in Los Angeles

One of the largest gay pride parades in the USA

Dates: June 9, 2024

The Pride Parade in Los Angeles is an action in support of a tolerant attitude towards lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgender people, as well as in defense of civil equality regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity. Every year it is visited by about 400,000 people. A three-hour parade takes place usually on a Sunday in June, at the end of Los Angeles Pride Week.

The Parade is held along Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood from 11 am to 2 pm. Inaugurated in 1970, it was among the first pride parades in the world, held in response to the famous 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City. The Parade attracts many civil rights activists, celebrities, politicians, and artists. Speakers at the LA Pride Parade included Nancy Pelosi, Chris Rock, Maxine Waters, Margaret Cho, America Ferrera, and Adam Lambert.

It will feature a performance stage, food and beverages, pop-up bars, a large vendor village, and more. The Parade's free "after-party" last year drew 35,000 people.
