WeHo Pride 2025 is getting ready to host its annual parade. Here's what to expect.
With June right around the corner, WeHo Pride 2025 is getting ready to host one of Southern California's biggest Pride events.
West Hollywood has become a city with a rich history and ties to the LGBTQ community. The city's Pride Month celebrations feature concerts, festivals and drag shows. Almost every corner of the city is adorned with rainbow flags and colored sidewalks supporting the LGBTQ community.
The weekend festivities will be spread out over several days, with the city enforcing road closures, which could impact travel and traffic.
WeHo Pride 2025 officially kicked off its celebrations on May 22, honoring Harvey Milk Day. He was an American politician and the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in the U.S. He was a pioneer for LGBTQ rights and his work helped lead to the passing of the country's first gay rights ordinance.
When is the WeHo Pride Parade?
The WeHo Pride Parade will take place on Sunday, June 1, and will begin at noon. It will run along Santa Monica Boulevard between Crescent Heights and San Vicente Boulevards.
The parade will feature music, floats and dancing. The event is free and open to the public.
This year's 2025 WeHo Pride Parade Icons will be supermodel and actress Cara Delevingne, former NFL player Chris Kluwe, Emmy-nominated actress and filmmaker Nava Mau and Love on the Spectrum star Pari Kim.
"WeHo Pride honors the four individuals for their work in bringing the LGBTQ+ community and social justice issues to the forefront, as well as expanding representation in pop culture," WeHo Pride said on its website.
