Three fun-filled days honoring the LGBTQ+ community were concluded Sunday with West Hollywood’s annual Pride Parade, featuring music, dancers, floats and marching contingents.
The parade began at noon, starting at Crescent Heights and Santa Monica boulevards, and traveled westbound along Santa Monica into the Rainbow — a stretch of Santa Monica Boulevard from La Cienega Boulevard to Doheny Drive, with rainbow flags and multicolored crosswalks at San Vicente Boulevard — to Robertson Boulevard.
The Parade Icons were actress-model Cara Delevingne, Emmy-nominated actress and filmmaker Nava Mau, “Love on the Spectrum” star Pari Kim, and former UCLA and Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe.
Each year, Parade Icons are selected for their significant contributions to the LGBTQ+ community, visibility, civic involvement and advocacy.
“They’ve each made a big difference in popular culture by shining a light on LGBTQ+ voices, in pushing for social justice, and by helping more people feel seen,” West Hollywood Mayor Chelsea Lee Byers said in an announcement earlier in May. “As we come together for the WeHo Pride Parade, it fills my heart that their work and presence will lift our message of LGBTQ+ inclusion and equality, and our vision for positive change in the world for LGBTQ+ people everywhere.”
