This year’s theme is “The Rhythm of the Rainbow,” a celebration of music as a universal language that crosses barriers and brings people together. When we announced it in January, President Tonya Martin put it this way:

We pay homage to the beats that have strengthened our hearts and souls. Our music is a powerful tool against the challenges we face, and with it, we will prevail.

Tonya Martin, President, Long Beach Pride

The festival will bring a wide range of artists, performers and community activities, all showing the strength of our LGBTQ+ community. We also opened the stage to local talent: LGBTQ+ and allied singers, DJs, dancers, musicians and drag artists were invited to apply by February 10 for a chance to perform for a crowd of more than 20,000.

The theme will have its own look, too. Artists and designers submitted entries for the official 2024 theme logo, and the winning design will appear across our media and merchandise this year.

The parade costs nothing to attend. Bring your people, find a spot along the route and be part of the color, pride and resilience on display.

Long Beach Pride has celebrated our LGBTQ+ community since 1984 with the festival, the parade and Teen Pride. We would love to see you at the first Pride of the season. See you in Long Beach!
