One of the biggest pride events in the country, LA Pride attracts thousands to a what had typically been a two-day fest and parade in West Hollywood but is now located a bit to the east. The parade portion will step off in Hollywood, where it’ll be accompanied by LA Pride Village, which will take over Hollywood Boulevard from Argyle to Bronson. The free street festival is taking the place of music fest L.A. Pride in the Park, formerly in Chinatown. Expect live music, food, drinks and shopping—plus a “Ballroom Battle” judged by celebs including Margaret Cho. The atmosphere is good-natured and raucous; local color is provided by divas, drag queens and DJs.
