The Houston Pride Parade is back — and we wouldn't miss it for the world! 🌈

After being postponed on June 6th due to storms moving over Houston all day, Pride Houston 365 worked with the Houston Mayor's Office of Special Events to reschedule the parade to Saturday, August 15th. Same energy. Same community. Same celebration — just a little later in the summer!

The 48th Annual Houston Parade transforms Downtown Houston into a citywide celebration of Pride, culture, and community. Go cheer them on, wave your flags, and celebrate community! 🏳️‍🌈

✨ PARADE DETAILS

The parade steps off from Smith Street and Lamar Street and winds through downtown, dispersing at Milam Street and Pease Street. Check pridehouston.org for the official route map and the most up-to-date timing information.

🌈 THIS YEAR'S THEME: "LIMITLESS"

This year's theme is "Limitless," celebrating visibility, inclusion, resilience, and community. 💜

🚗 GETTING THERE

Open parking is available in downtown garages, but rideshare is strongly encouraged. Visit spothero.com for garage locations. Plan ahead — Downtown Houston will be packed, and streets near the parade route will be closed throughout the day and evening!
