About the Las Vegas PRIDE Night Parade
The annual Las Vegas PRIDE Night Parade is one of Southern Nevada’s most colorful and uplifting community celebrations. The evening recognizes the region’s gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, and allied communities with illuminated floats, music, performers, and groups marching through Downtown Las Vegas.
Unlike a daytime parade, this event comes alive after sunset. Glittering decorations, bright costumes, rainbow lights, and the neon surroundings of Downtown Las Vegas create a distinctly Vegas PRIDE experience.
Spectators are encouraged to arrive before the 6:00 p.m. pre-show to find a comfortable viewing location and enjoy the activities along Fourth Street.
