Pride Month in New Orleans
Pride flags will decorate the French Quarter while Lady Gaga is blasted through the streets this June for pride month, celebrating the local LGBTQ+ community.
New Orleans Pride is organizing a host of events throughout the month, but you won't want to miss the festivities on Saturday, June 14. From the 2025 pride parade and Pridefest to the NOLA Community Festival, the day is set to be jam packed with joyful celebrations and fun for all.
The 2025 NOLA Pride Parade
From 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., the New Orleans Pride Parade will pack the French Quarter with gleefully glittered participants and spectators. From floats to dancers, bikers and prancers, the parade will celebrate pride month and the local LGBTQ+ community.
The parade will begin at Elysian Fields, loop through the French Quarter, and end at the corner of Dumaine and Rampart in a block party. Spectators, participants, and passersby will join together to dance and extend the fun beyond the end of the parade route.
Whether you identify with the community, are visiting New Orleans or simply looking for weekend fun, experience New Orleans' parade culture through this unique annual celebration.
