LA Pride Parade draws tens of thousands of people to Hollywood

The LA Pride Parade returned to Hollywood Sunday, drawing tens of thousands of people to mark the last day of this year's three-day celebration.

The parade route began  at 11 a.m. along Sunset Boulevard and Highland Avenue, and was expected to head north, then east onto Hollywood Boulevard, then south onto Cahuenga Boulevard, ending at Sunset and Cahuenga boulevards.

Traffic has been shutdown along major streets for the event and streets along the one-mile route have been closed. 

Pride weekend has already been a big success. On Saturday, thousands gathered in Chinatown for a concert featuring Mariah Carey. 

The parade Sunday will include vendors and entertainment. This year marks its 53rd for Pride weekend and is expected to draw 150,000 people.
