The countdown is on! Long Beach Pride™ is thrilled to announce that tickets are officially on sale for the 42nd Annual Long Beach Pride™ Festival, set to take place on May 17th and 18th, 2025.
As the first major Pride event of the season, the Long Beach Pride™ Festival is ready to kick off a summer of love, unity, and celebration for the LGBTQ+ community.
This year’s theme, “The Power of Community,” reflects the strength, diversity, and resilience of the LGBTQ+family in Long Beach and beyond. From vibrant live performances to immersive art, cultural showcases, and interactive zones, this year’s festival promises an unforgettable weekend for all.
While the City of Long Beach now leads the planning of the Pride Parade, the Long Beach Pride™ organization remains fully focused on delivering a dynamic and inclusive festival experience at the heart of the city’s celebration.
