New Orleans Pride - June 9 - 12!

New Orleans Pride fully embraces the message of “One CommUNITY” as they celebrate our history and promote the future prosperity of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast Region. They use public awareness and education about the LGBT+ community as a way to combat “phobias” and discrimination. Their programs, seminars and events leading up to, and during Pride weekend, are meant to include individuals from all walks of life.

New Orleans Pride raises money to put on the New Orleans Pride Festival for the LGBT+ Community of New Orleans and its allies.
