There is something magical about the light in Long Beach. Read more below.

Long Beach Pride

The Southern California LGBT group Long Beach Lesbian & Gay Pride Inc. was established in October 1983 and produced the first annual Long Beach Pride Festival and Parade in June of 1984.

Over the past 31 years Long Beach Lesbian & Gay Pride has grown to become a large philanthropic organization and has gifted more than $1 million back into the community in grants and scholarships, and participates in and contributes to several events and organizations in the region. Long Beach Pride Festival has become the second-largest revenue generating event for the city of Long Beach. The Long Beach Pride Festival now attracts over 80,000 participants over the two-day event.
