With L.A. Pride’s move out of West Hollywood and into Hollywood, and the arrival of WeHo Pride in the former city, L.A. is now lucky enough to have two inclusive festivals celebrating the city’s LGBTQ+ community each Pride Month.
Here, we’ll be filling you in on all the details about L.A. Pride, the long-running festival and parade that dates back to 1970—making it the first event of its kind to commemorate New York’s Stonewall Rebellion. But if you’re wondering what’s up with WeHo’s own event, don’t worry, we’ll point you in the right direction for that celebration as well—along with even more major Pride Month events, plus our favorite party spots for divas and drag queens alike.
When is L.A. Pride 2026?
L.A. Pride returns on Sunday, June 14, 2026—and that’s the same day the L.A. Pride Parade will step off in Hollywood. Note that L.A. Pride in the Park, a concert that’s taken place at L.A. State Historic Park the past few years, won’t be happening this year. In its place is L.A. Pride Village, a free street festival on Hollywood Boulevard from Vine to Gower featuring live music, food, drinks and shopping—plus celeb appearances and an L.A. Pride Ball presented by the iconic House of Ninja (noon–8pm).
L.A. Pride also sponsors a number of affiliated Pride events throughout the month, including LGBTQ+ Night at Dodger Stadium (June 5) and a special Street Food Cinema screening (June 13).
When is the L.A. Pride Parade?
The L.A. Pride Parade occurs on Sunday, June 14, in Hollywood, at the site of the first permitted gay parade in the world (back in 1970). The parade is staged along Hollywood Boulevard, Highland Avenue and Cahuenga Boulevard, and starts at 11am. This year’s grand marshals include Emmy-winning actor Jeff Hiller and civil rights activist Mia Yamamoto.
Following the parade, stick around for live entertainment, local vendors and food and drinks at L.A. Pride Village.
Where can I watch the parade?
The parade steps off at Sunset Boulevard and Highland Avenue and heads north on Highland before turning east onto Hollywood Boulevard. From there, it follows Hollywood until it turns south onto Cahuenga Boulevard, before wrapping up back at Sunset.
You’ll be able to watch from the sidewalk, and expect just about every restaurant and bar with a patio along the route to host special seatings on the morning of the parade. Also, the parade route sits along two Metro stops: Hollywood/Highland and Hollywood/Vine.
What’s WeHo Pride? And when is it?
Though Christopher Street West may have moved L.A. Pride east, West Hollywood still holds its own celebration on the former site of the event. WeHo Pride will technically take place from late May through June, but the main event, a street festival and an all-weekend music fest dubbed OUTLOUD, takes place June 5 to 7 (the date of the WeHo Pride Parade). You can find out more in our full guide to WeHo Pride.
Between L.A. Pride and WeHo Pride, if you’re wondering which is the Pride event for L.A.: Since they’re held on separate weekends, there’s no reason to pit one against the other—so why not attend both?
