Additionally Long Beach is gearing up for its first-ever city-organized Pride Parade, set for May 19. More than 130 organizations will participate under the theme “Rhythm and Rainbows.” Past Long Beach Pride board members will serve as grand marshals, while rapper Saucy Santana and activist Donzaleigh Abernathy will also lead the parade. Community leaders and media figures will be recognized as well. The event marks a new chapter for the parade, previously organized by Long Beach Pride, amidst recent challenges and changes.
