The 43rd Annual Long Beach Pride Parade took place on Ocean Boulevard on Sunday, drawing rainbow-clad crowds and political figures, including Mayor Rex Richardson and gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra. Despite the parade proceeding as scheduled, the accompanying weekend festival was abruptly canceled by city officials due to unresolved safety and permitting issues, according to authorities. Long Beach Pride organizers stated they cooperated in good faith to meet requirements. Attendees expressed disappointment and frustration, viewing the cancellation as particularly painful amid the current national climate regarding LGBTQ rights. Many saw it as a symbol of the challenges the community faces, though participants emphasized that pride itself cannot be canceled. The city organized a free alternative event at Bixby Park, ensuring celebration continued, while parade-goers carried signs affirming that pride comes from within and cannot be taken away. Long Beach Pride has a long history, dating back to the 1980s, originally emerging in the midst of the AIDS crisis to create visibility and support for the LGBTQ community. Despite setbacks, attendees maintained the spirit of the event through dancing, music, and solidarity, underscoring the resilience and importance of Pride as both a cultural and political statement.

It kinda worked but not the way I wanted. Ugh… Thinking I need to mix some paint in to it.
So I started a little 8”x8” of a #jockstrap.
Trying out a gel gloss medium to replicate #sweat so that it looks like somebody just kicked off their #sneakers & have wet #socks from marching in the #PrideParade and left wet footprints on the flooring.
I’ve got more to do but don’t want to continue until I know this has worked & is well dry.
SWANSEA: Everything you need to know about Swansea Pride 2026 — parade route, road closures and what to expect on Saturday
Swansea’s most colourful celebration of the year is almost here. Swansea Pride returns on Saturday 16 May, and as always it’s completely free and open to everyone.
The parade sets off from Wind Street at 11am, heading along Oxford Street and St Helen’s Road before finishing at the Guildhall on Guildhall Road South. The route is marked on the map above — if you’re planning to watch, Oxford Street and St Helen’s Road are your best spots to line up.
Drivers should be aware that there will be rolling road closures along the parade route between 10:30am and 12:30pm. Plan your journey accordingly and allow extra time if you’re heading into the city centre that morning.

If you want to get out of the sun or explore what the wider Pride community has to offer, head inside the neighbouring Brangwyn Hall where the Swansea Pride Community Zone will be running throughout the day. There you’ll find information stalls from organisations, support services, charities and community groups, as well as some craft traders.
Swansea Pride is organised independently and supported by Swansea Council. It has grown steadily in recent years into one of the city’s most well-attended annual events, drawing people from across Swansea Bay and beyond.
Whether you’re a first-timer or a Pride regular, Saturday promises to be a brilliant day out. The forecast is looking dry with sunny spells — so dig out your best outfit and get involved.
