After two years of celebrating online, Monterey Peninsula Pride is thrilled that our annual LGBTQ+ Pride Celebration and Parade will return to Downtown Old Monterey in-person on Saturday, July 23, 11am-3pm. This year's theme is Out and Proud.

The opening parade will begin at 11am on Polk Street and will move down Alvarado Street, culminating at Custom House Plaza for the celebration.

At Custom House Plaza, 12pm-3pm, all ages can enjoy a lineup of performers including DJ AyumiPlease, drag entertainers Rogue Roulette and Chloe Quarterpounder, and our distinguished and multi-talented Grand Marshal Ricardo Burney. Bring your friends and family to explore the dozens of local businesses, food trucks, and participating community organizations!

If you're age 21 and up, you're invited to join us at the Out and Proud After Party held at Pearl Hour cocktail bar tonight, 7pm-2am. $20 cover (cash). Lots of great entertainment!
