PRIDE 2024
Calendar of Pride Month events in Southern California: dates, times and locations
Take a look at some of the Pride Events that will be hosted in Southern California this month and next.
Though San Fransisco, in Northern California, is known for being a reference point for LGBTQ+ history and culture, cities south of the Golden State also have much to offer during Pride Month.
Events in Los Angeles
Los Angeles will host its pride parade on Saturday, 9 June, 2024. This year, the parade’s grand marshals will be George Takei, Cassandra, El Exotico, and LA Fire Department Chief Kristen Crowley.
Aside from the massive parade, the city will also host the 2024 LA Pride Block Party on Hollywood Boulevard, featuring performances, food, beer gardens, and much more. A surprise sponsored by Hulu will also be announced at the event.
Later in the month, on 22 June, an LGBTQ night will be hosted at Cinespia. ¨It’s a sapphic spectacle when romance blossoms between a secret spy and her mark,¨ reads the description of the event. There will be a photo booth, a beer and wine bar, and plenty of food and dancing to power you all night.
The full list of events can be found on LA Pride´s website.
Events in San Diego
In San Diego, Pride events will also be hosted throughout the month.
The San Diego LGBT Community Center will host a game night on 11 June from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. The following night, The Center will host an ofrenda, or offering, to honor those lost in the Pulse Nightclub shooting in coordination with Latin@x Services and the LGBTQ Latine Coalition.
However, the San Diego Pride Parade, which typically attracts around 250,000 people, will take place on Saturday, 20 July. It will begin at the Hillcrest Pride Flag at 10 am.
