Long Beach, meanwhile, will host the region’s other major parade and festival from July 8 to 10 after going virtual the previous two years.
LA Pride returns to its roots this weekend, with a parade that had it’s beginnings in 1970 on Hollywood Boulevard — and an A-lister headlining this year’s musical performances.
Pride in the Park, an outdoor musical event at the L.A. State Historic Park, 245 N. Spring St., will kick things off from 1 to 11 p.m. Saturday, June 11, and will feature, among other performers, pop superstar Christina Aguilera. The parade route will begin on Hollywood Boulevard at Cahuenga, then travel south on Highland to Sunset Boulevard. The parade will travel east on Sunset before returning to Cahuenga.“We considered many options for the parade, both traditional and progressive,” Gerald Garth, CSW’s vice president of programs and initiatives,
The change, organizers have said, is intended to allow celebrants to enjoy the beautiful downtown Long Beach views with warmer and longer days.The three-day Long Beach festival will include a rainbow roller rink, a silent disco, community walls for guests to share their stories and a drag makeup glam squad — who can give full makeovers, or just a quick touch up. There will be family- and senior-specific zones as well.
