Join the Legacy of Long Beach Pride
The Long Beach Pride story began in the early 1980s with three incredible visionaries: Judy Doyle, Marilyn Barlow, and Bob Crow. Their courage and commitment laid the foundation for a movement that has since grown into a vibrant celebration of love and diversity. But the story of Long Beach Pride isn't just about the past; it's about the heroes of today who continue to make this event possible—and they need your support.
Why Long Beach Pride Matters:
Every year, the Festival and Parade are more than just events—they are a beacon of hope and activism for Long Beach and the South Bay. These gatherings are a celebration of our community's strength and unity, providing a joyful and safe space where everyone can be themselves.
For many, the Parade is a transformative experience. It’s often the first place a young person sees someone who looks like them, proudly celebrating their identity from a float. The excitement along Ocean Blvd and the vibrant Festival activities, at the Marina Green, highlight the rich tapestry of our community and offer a powerful message of inclusivity and acceptance.
How Your Support Makes a Difference:
The journey to a successful Pride event starts long before the first float rolls out or the first tent is set up. As operating costs rise and the planning process intensifies, we rely on the generosity of supporters like you to keep this tradition alive.
This year, we are excited to plan:
Your donation will help cover essential costs, from permits and logistics to event planning and execution. By contributing, you become a vital part of ensuring that Long Beach Pride remains a powerful symbol of unity and a cherished celebration for years to come.
