SaMo Pride

Each year, Santa Monica illuminates the Third Street Promenade with a canopy of rainbow lights as part of this citywide LGBTQ+ celebration. Look out for a daytime party along the expanse of the Promenade on June 13 with a drag brunch, community booths, games, Rainbow Storytime and more. Afterward, Santa Monica Block Fest keeps the party going with a free, family-friendly Pride and World Cup-themed music festival in the Entertainment Zone, complete with a night market and pop-up bars.
