2024 Long Beach Pride Parade
The City of Long Beach in partnership with the Office of Vice Mayor and Second District Councilwoman Cindy Allen, will serve as the official host and funder for the 2024 Long Beach Pride Parade.
The Long Beach Pride Parade has been a staple of Long Beach and the LA region for decades, attracting thousands of spectators and participants each year. The 41st annual parade will return to its traditional May timeframe, taking place on Sunday, May 19, and will travel along iconic stretches of Ocean Boulevard. More details regarding this year’s event, including grand marshals and other highlights, will be provided by the City at a later date.
The City has received an overwhelming response for participation in this year's Pride Parade. Parade entries have reached capacity and no further applications will be accepted at this time.
The parade will coincide with the Long Beach Pride Festival, taking place Saturday, May 18 and Sunday, May 19 along the Downtown waterfront.
