READ TIME: 2 MIN.

Occurring June 10-12, 2016, LA PRIDE Festival & Parade is a three-day, city-wide festival dedicated to celebrating equality and defending the rights of LGBT individuals, incorporating music, art, exhibits, speeches, parties and, of course, the iconic parade.

This year, the LA PRIDE Grand Marshal is Jewel Thais-Williams, an opener of one of the first black discos in the U.S. back in the 70s. Special musical guests include Charli XCX, Bebe Rexha, Carly Rae Jepsen, Faith Evans and Krewella.
