Boston Pride for the People Parade

On Saturday, June 14, find the Mayor’s Office of LGBTQIA2S+ Advancement, Mayor Michelle Wu, Chief Solis Cervera, and our amazing City of Boston partners in this year's Boston Pride For The People parade! 

Review the traffic advisory before the parade.

Now more than ever, joy is an act of resistance — and Pride is our time to show up, rise up, and celebrate all that we are and all that we fight for.                                                                                             ✨ Pride Parade Marching Tips ✨

👟 Shoes that slay AND stay – Whether you’re marching, rolling, dancing, or voguing down the route, wear whatever makes you feel fierce and comfortable. Sturdy sneakers, boots, or wheels 🦽 that sparkle — all are welcome to parade with us!

👚 Come dressed in whatever joyful, bold, colorful, family friendly, and fabulous way feels most YOU.

💦 Hydrate — bring a water bottle and sip like the icon you are.

🎒 Pack the essentials: phone, sunscreen, wallet, portable charger, and snacks.

🌞 Check the weather — New England always keeps us guessing.

🎨 Wheels Welcome & Wonderful! Rolling with us? Feel free to decorate your wheels with pride — ribbons, flags, flowers, lights — let your ride shine as bright as you do!

🐾 Friendly, crowd-comfy pups are welcome to march, as long as they are cool with loud noises, kids, and other dogs — just be sure to join us toward the back of our group for everyone’s comfort and safety. Rainbow bandanas encouraged!

📸 Tag us in your pics @lgbtq_office — we want to see all the love and light you bring!

This parade is a celebration of our identities, our power, and our unity. Whether you identify as LGBTQIA2S+ or as a fierce ally, your presence means so much. Let’s show up, rise up, and celebrate together.

For any questions, please contact Kimberly Rhoten (kimberly.rhoten@boston.gov). 

With Pride,

Our team at the Mayor’s Office of LGBTQIA2S+ Advancement🏳️‍🌈
