The story

WeHo Pride in West Hollywood

WeHo Pride is the City of West Hollywood's official LGBTQ+ Pride celebration, centered on West Hollywood Park each June and drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors to what has become one of the largest Pride celebrations in the world. The city runs a free Pride Ride shuttle service during the weekend and extends related programming across more than 40 days of events.

West Hollywood incorporated as its own city in 1984, and unlike most American municipalities, its founding coalition included significant, explicit LGBTQ political organizing, a distinction that has shaped the city's identity ever since.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

The place changes

WeHo Pride is produced directly by the City of West Hollywood itself rather than an independent nonprofit, an unusual civic structure among major American Pride events, reflecting West Hollywood's identity as one of the first cities in the country incorporated with an explicitly LGBTQ-inclusive founding coalition in 1984

The mystery stays covered

The city extends its Pride programming well beyond a single weekend, running more than 40 days of related events, and operates a dedicated free Pride Ride shuttle service, suspending regular transit schedules during the main weekend to move the large crowds around the compact city

The city starts moving

Centered on West Hollywood Park rather than a stadium or fairground, the celebration keeps its main festival grounds within the same few blocks that anchor the city's everyday LGBTQ nightlife and community life along Santa Monica Boulevard
