Long Beach Pride 2021 Goes Online With a Retrospective Show

We can’t be together on the shore this spring, but Long Beach Pride is still coming to you. On May 16, 2021, at 7 p.m., we return with a virtual celebration featuring headliners from our Main Stage, Dance Stage, Urban Stage and Fiesta Caliente Stage, streaming on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LongBeachPride.com.

It has been a long stretch. In March 2020, out of an abundance of caution, our Board postponed the 2020 Festival and Parade to protect the health of our attendees, artists, volunteers, staff and vendors. This show is our way of gathering again, wherever you happen to be watching.

We are pleased to present Long Beach Pride with an exciting star-studded online celebration. Although we miss seeing all our supporters and fans in person, we are looking forward to a successful interactive show that will connect our varied communities together in celebration of this iconic event!

Elsa Martinez, President, Long Beach Pride

On the Virtual Stage

A variety of artists will share the virtual stage with an audience watching from around the world. On the Fiesta Caliente Stage, Los Horoscopos lead the way, joined by DJs, dancers and a host of other notable performers.

The Urban Soul Stage is back too, bringing together top hip-hop and R&B artists to share their latest music and energetic dance styles.

We will also take a look back. The show features video highlights of past Long Beach Pride parades and festivals, the weekends where fans were treated to unique performers, gourmet food, talented street artists and so much more.

The AfterShow

When the main show wraps, the Long Beach Pride AfterShow goes live on Facebook Live to talk about the event’s top personalities and guests. This year the celebration is interactive, with fun questions and answers played out in real time, online discussions, and Q&A sessions with artists and Long Beach Pride representatives.
