Long Beach Pride Parade

The Long Beach Pride Parade is the 3rd largest in the nation. Early arrivers who show their pride could receive free admission to the two-day 2011 Long Beach Pride Festival, exclusive Long Beach Pride merchandise and more.

The "parade hot spot" kicks off an hour early, 9:30 a.m. at Bixby Park. This shady locale is the perfect gathering spot for anyone watching the parade. DJ Zenway will provide music and giveaways and will be joined by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and a pep rally with Cheer L.A. featuring a "choreographed high-flying stunt spectacular."

Meet parade commentator’ actress and comedian Carlease Burks, on-street announcer Justin Rudd and community supporter Steve Eng as they guide you through all the parade entries one by one. Be sure to stick around after the parade for more lots more fun.
