The Alhambra Teachers Association, the Boys and Girls Club of the West San Gabriel Valley & Eastside, and the City of Monterey Park will present the 5th Annual San Gabriel Valley Pride Parade and Festival on Saturday, June 6, 2026.
The community celebration will feature live music, food, giveaways, and resource booths, bringing together residents and visitors in support of inclusivity and pride.
The parade will begin at Mark Keppel High School in Alhambra and conclude at Barnes Park in Monterey Park, where the festival will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 pm at 350 S. McPherrin Ave.
Organizers say the annual event continues to grow as a regional celebration of LGBTQ+ pride and community connection across the San Gabriel Valley.
