L.A. Pride 2025: Everything you need to know
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 2025?
L.A. Pride returns on Sunday, June 8, 2025 with a block party on Hollywood Boulevard—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.
When is the L.A. Pride Parade?
The L.A. Pride Parade occurs on Sunday, June 8 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 Niecy Nash and Jessica Betts, Andrew Rannells and TrinoxAdam.
Following the parade, you'll find live entertainment, local vendors and food and drinks along Hollywood Boulevard at the mid-day Parade Block Party.
See all of the details, including street closures, in our full guide to the L.A. Pride Parade.
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 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 and throughout June, but the main event, an all-weekend music fest dubbed OUTLOUD, takes place May 30 to June 1 (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 for to pit one against the other—so why not attend both?

MS says culture isn't a luxury in Wales its 'who we are'
MS for Delyn Last week in the Senedd, I spoke about the incredible contribution of North Wales to our cultural landscape – whether that's the Llangollen International Eisteddfod or the North Wales International Music Festival in St Asaph or our historic heritage at Flint Castle and Greenfield Valley. There's also the jewel in our cultural crown, Theatr Clwyd, which is nearing the end of an inspirational transformation. Culture in Wales isn't a luxury, it's who we are. It empowers, connects and drives our economy and it deserves to be supported not only by Welsh Government and other public bodies but also by our communities, the communities who inspire and attend performances and enjoy the wonderful cultural riches on offer in our corner of Wales. You can see many of my contributions in Senedd on my Facebook page at It was also lovely recently to welcome students and teachers from Point of Ayr Federation Schools to the Senedd for a visit. They certainly asked some fantastic questions and took the opportunity to raise a number of things they were concerned about with me – from the impact of acts of anti-social behaviour on their school and in their local area to what was happening with plans for a new skate park. I look forward to taking these matters up as their Member of the Senedd and updating the students through their schools. Last week was Armed Forces Week, culminating in Armed Forces Day on Saturday – a chance to pay tribute to the dedication, courage and sacrifice of those who have served and those who continue to serve in our Armed Forces. I want to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to all those in our Armed Forces community, including veterans and reservists here in North Wales, for their continued service and commitment. We will always remember, support and stand with you. As this year's Pride month comes to a close, it's a chance to reflect on what has been a packed but powerful few weeks. From the first ever Prestatyn Pride to the excellent Flintshire Schools Pride, Pride Cymru in the capital and Commonwealth events in the Senedd, Pride remains as relevant and as important as ever – a positive force for good that brings together both the LGBTQ+ community and the wider community. It's a privilege to serve the community that shaped me here in North Wales and I'm proud to be an authentic advocate and ally for our LGBTQ+ community too. Pride is still a protest and love will always win! Regular readers of this column will know that the Welsh Government will be banning plastic in wet wipes next year – the legislation is set to come into force in December 2026 and is part of a wider, integrated approach to address the problems created by excess plastic and litter, banning all sorts of single-use and unnecessary plastics in products we all use regularly, something which I kick-started when I was Minister for Environment back in 2016. So it was heartening this week to hear that Nice-Pak in Flint, one of our biggest local employers and one which does a lot of work locally for our communities, is ready for the transition ahead of the legislation by ensuring that 96% of the wipes it manufactures for the UK market are already plastic-free. This is great news for the company and for the environment – well done to the team at Nice-Pak! Finally, a reminder that Mold Carnival is back this Sunday, July 6 – a brilliant local event that brings the whole community together at the Rec and Kendricks Field (Maes Bodlonfa Fields). The day kicks off with a colourful parade at 10:30am from Griffiths Square car park and runs until 6pm with everything from hands-on science fun and special character appearances to live music, dance acts and family entertainment throughout the day. Plus, there'll be free football activities thanks to the FAW and McDonald's as well as Transformer robots! If you're free, do pop down and support this fantastic local day out. It's a great celebration of everything that makes Mold such a special place to live. As always, if you would like advice and/or support, please don't hesitate to get in touch on any of the following contact details – 52 High Street, Mold, Flintshire, on 01352 753464 or by email You can also keep up to date via my Facebook page – Constituents are, of course, welcome to contact my office to arrange an appointment to see me, you don't need to wait for an advice surgery.

Chepstow youth leader hails Pride as 'incredible' event
Matt, spoke of how times have changed and compared last year's Pride with this year's carnival-like vibe and great turnout. 'Last year it was just two of us turning up with a few tunes and then about fifty joined us for a picnic. This year. What a contrast! I'd imagine it was about 700.' The parade was bathed in sunshine, smiles and dancing to music. Matt thanked local businesses and Chepstow Town Council, among others for their support. 'Thanks to them all and the Riverside pub for the catering. It was fantastic.' The colourful display put a smile on Matt's face: 'From small acorns and all that, it was quite a turnaround.' Matt said the aim of the Chepstow group is group is to work with local businesses and grow as a local group and remain relevant to local businesses and services. 'I suppose the success of weekend shows how far we have come as a society,' Matt added. Among revellers at the parade were Chepstow councillors, led by town Mayor, Councillor Jim McTaggart and Deputy Mayor Cllr Vanessa Badderley-Potter. Matt is hoping for the good weather repeating itself for Chepstow Pride, 2026
