38 photos of queer joy at Long Beach Pride 2025

Last weekend, sunny Long Beach, California was home to a huge Pride celebration that attracted thousands to the city’s gorgeous waterfront city.

The Pride festival was a two-day event with immersive art, cultural programming, and performances from HYM the Rapper, Tori Kay, George Michael Reborn, plus the crowd-favorite Drag Show Extravaganza and the return of MegaWoof and The Galactivators.

Not only was the festival a giant celebration, but the colorful Pride parade brought revelers to Ocean Boulevard, but the festival honored Long Beach Pride’s commitment to inclusion and advocacy with areas for Teen Pride, TransVisibility, Queer Country, a Family Fun Zone and a Health Hub.

“This year, we witnessed the incredible power of visibility, love, and shared joy,” said Interim Long Beach Pride President Elsa Martinez. “The energy, diversity, and spirit of this community made Long Beach Pride 2025 one for the history books.”
