Long Beach Pride Festival '25

The Power of Community

Join us at the 42nd annual Long Beach Pride Festival, set for May 17th and 18th, 2025.

Revel in a weekend that promises more than just music—it’s a cultural movement championing diversity, inclusion, and the universal language of music.

This year’s theme, “The Power of Community,” invites participants from all walks of life to contribute to the colorful expressions of pride and resilience.

Please join the incomparable JENNIFER KUMIYAMA IN the 2025 LB Pride Parade on Sunday, May 18, 2025! She is this year's Celebrity AND Robert Crow Grand Marshal. Here are the parade contingent details:What to Expect: We'll be a walking/rolling/skating/biking contingent. The parade route is just under 1.5 miles long, the route is along Ocean Blvd., and starts promptly at 10am. Anyone joining me must be at the staging location no later than 9:30am that day (more detailed information will be shared the week of the parade).

What to wear: I'll have a limited number of Long Beach Disability Pride t-shirts available, but please feel free to VERY dress festive & of course wear Stonewall Dem Club gear.
