LA Pride
LA Pride 2026
LA Pride is one of the most historic and recognizable LGBTQ plus Pride celebrations in the United States. Rooted in activism and visibility, the event traces its origins to 1970, when Los Angeles hosted the world’s first permitted Pride parade. More than five decades later, LA Pride continues to serve as a major cultural moment that blends celebration, community organizing, and advocacy in the heart of Southern California.
Dates for LA Pride 2026
The 2026 edition of LA Pride is scheduled for Friday, June 12 through Sunday, June 14, 2026, with the main parade and festival taking place on Sunday, June 14, 2026. These dates place LA Pride firmly within the peak of Pride Month, aligning with celebrations across the country and around the world.
The official website for LA Pride is
https://lapride.org/
This site is the primary source for parade routes, schedules, accessibility information, and official announcements as the event approaches.
The LA Pride Parade
The LA Pride Parade is the centerpiece of the weekend and one of the most visible Pride parades in the country. Traditionally held along Hollywood Boulevard, the parade features community organizations, nonprofits, LGBTQ plus advocacy groups, performers, and large-scale corporate floats. Attendance regularly reaches tens of thousands of spectators, making it both a celebration and a statement of visibility.
For 2026, the parade is expected to take place on Sunday, June 14, 2026, following the established Sunday tradition. While the full parade route and start times are typically confirmed closer to the event, Hollywood has remained the consistent home of the parade in recent years.
Festival and Pride Village
Alongside the parade, LA Pride has hosted a street festival commonly known as Pride Village. This area usually includes live entertainment, sponsor activations, food vendors, and community booths. Pride Village is designed to be accessible and welcoming, offering a place for attendees to gather before and after the parade.
As of now, specific Pride Village dates and programming for 2026 have not yet been officially announced. Based on recent patterns, it is expected to coincide with the main parade weekend in mid-June.
Known Events and Programming Examples from 2025
While confirmed schedules for 2026 are still limited, looking at LA Pride 2025 provides a helpful preview of the types of events that typically surround the main celebration.
In 2025, the LA Pride Parade and Festival took place on Sunday, June 8, 2025, with Pride Village operating throughout the weekend. Additional Pride-related programming included community gatherings, nightlife events, and cultural celebrations spread across Los Angeles.
One notable example from 2025 was Trans Pride LA, a major community event celebrating transgender, gender nonconforming, and nonbinary communities. Trans Pride LA took place on June 14, 2025, and featured live performances, resource fairs, and speakers. Events like this are often scheduled during the same weekend as LA Pride or nearby dates in June, making them part of the broader Pride experience in the city. Information about Trans Pride LA is typically shared through the Los Angeles LGBT Center at https://lalgbtcenter.org/.
Another recurring Pride season highlight in Los Angeles has been LGBTQ plus Pride Night at Dodger Stadium. In 2025, this event took place on June 13, 2025, offering fans a themed baseball night and special Pride merchandise. While not officially produced by LA Pride, it has become a popular adjacent event during Pride Month. Updates on these events are often found at https://www.mlb.com/dodgers/.
These 2025 events serve as examples of the broader ecosystem of Pride programming that usually surrounds LA Pride and are likely to return in similar form for 2026.
Planning Your Visit
For those planning to attend LA Pride 2026, booking accommodations early is strongly recommended, particularly in Hollywood, West Hollywood, and Downtown Los Angeles. Public transportation and rideshare services are widely used during Pride weekend, as street closures and heavy foot traffic are common.
The most reliable source for updates remains the official LA Pride website at https://lapride.org/. As June 2026 approaches, visitors can expect announcements regarding parade routes, entertainment lineups, festival hours, and accessibility services.
A Continuing Legacy
LA Pride remains deeply connected to its activist roots while embracing the scale and diversity of modern Pride celebrations. The combination of historic significance, cultural impact, and community engagement makes LA Pride a defining event of Pride Month. With its June 12 to June 14, 2026 schedule, LA Pride is set to once again bring visibility, celebration, and unity to the streets of Los Angeles.

Gingers Rogers Beach: Place of LGBTQ+ Expression and Organizing since 1940's
Young gay men began visiting the unofficial “gay beach” north of Santa Monica as early as 1940. This area of Will Rogers Beach, demarcated today by lifeguard towers 17 and 18, has become commonly known among the local LGBTQ+ community as “Ginger Rogers Beach,” a nod to the glamorous actress of Broadway and Hollywood fame. According to film professor David Lugowski, gay men were infatuated with Rogers’ campy talents, androgynous performances, and diva persona– so much so that drag queens began emulating her in the 1930s and 1940s, and continue to do so today.
