Today the LA Pride Festival attracts over 50,000 attendees each year with three stages, activations and non-profit booths. The LA Pride Festival started in 1974 as a street fair on Sunset Blvd and Cherokee Ave, moved to West Hollywood in 1979. Actually, Los Angeles hosted the world’s first permitted parade advocating for gay rights on Jas a response to and in commemoration of the Stonewall Rebellion on Christopher Street in New York City the year prior.
Los Angeles Pride, known as the LA Pride Parade and Festival is over 40 years old and packs in thousands from the local and wider LGBTQ community every June in the city's gayborhood, West Hollywood.
