2024–2025 California and West Coast LGBTQIA+ Pride Calendar – Pride Festivals in LA, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and more
California and the West Coast are home to some of the world’s largest and most inspiring LGBTQ Pride festivals. The first of these were begun as efforts to express support and solidarity for LGBTQ rights following New York City’s infamous Stonewall Riots of 1969, and over the years they’ve spread into even relatively small cities around the world.
Some communities hold Pride-related events—including art and history exhibits, concerts, film screenings, workshops, and myriad parties—over a full week or more leading up to the main day or weekend, when there’s typically a Pride parade and festival. And most of the larger Pride festivals feature community marketplaces or expos at which local organizations and businesses looking to reach out to the LGBTQIA+ community appear.
California’s largest cities—Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Long Beach—all have particularly spirited Pride celebrations that draw participants and spectators from all over the world. As do cities farther up the coast, such as Portland and Seattle. We’ve also got Alaska, Guam, and Hawaii covered in this guide, as well as some events in Pacific Mexico. And you’ll find information about several smaller Pride events that take place up and down the West Coast, from Orange County Gay Pride in Santa Ana to Southern Oregon Gay Pride in Ashland.

And also see my LGBTQIA+ Guides to Big Bear Lake and the San Bernardino Mountains and San Diego for recommendations on vacationing in both of these areas.

Note: We try to keep these calendars as current as possible, and we apologize if we’ve missed anything or we’ve fallen behind on the dates. My partner Fernando and I update these in our free time (it’s just something we do to support the community; we don’t receive any compensation, nor do we run ads on this site), so please bear with us. If you know of a Pride event that’s not on this calendar, or if you have updated information about an event, please email us at AndrewsTraveling@gmail.com.
