The 54th annual L.A. Pride parade will take over Hollywood on Sunday, June 9th set to kick-off at 11 am. The route will run north on Highland Blvd past the ABC7 live broadcast, then head east on Hollywood Blvd, and south on Cahuenga Blvd.
The parade Grand Marshals for 2024 are actor and activist George Takei as the Icon Grand Marshal, an individual who needs no introduction and achieved major milestones within his career and life; professional wrestler Cassandro, El Exótico as the Legacy Grand Marshal, for his everlasting impact on his industry and community; and Los Angeles Fire Department Chief, Kristin Crowley, as the Community Grand Marshal, the first woman, and first out person to ever hold the LAFD’s highest position.
The best Parade viewing spots are along the middle of Hollywood Blvd, or on Highland, opposite the ABC7 broadcast area. Step-off is at 11 AM sharp, so get there early to get a good spot.
Can’t make it out to Hollywood? Not to worry, you can watch the parade live on ABC7.
