WeHo Pride 2025: Everything you need to know
Since 2022, WeHo Pride has quickly come into its own as an essential Pride Month event, with its own music festival and parade set amid the city's iconic gay bars and clubs. Read on for everything you need to know about WeHo Pride and the WeHo Pride Parade—and lots more major Pride Month events across Los Angeles—plus our favorite party spots for divas and drag queens alike.
What is WeHo Pride? And when is it?
Though Christopher Street West may have moved L.A. Pride east, West Hollywood still holds its own celebration on the former site of the event. The bulk of WeHo Pride takes place in and around West Hollywood Park (647 N San Vicente Blvd).
WeHo Pride is officially a monthlong affair that kicks off on May 22 with a celebration of Harvey Milk Day and the WeHo Pride Arts Festival (May 23–25) and lasts all of Pride Month, until June 30. But the star of the show is WeHo Pride Weekend, which coincides with an accompanying music fest dubbed OUTLOUD. That takes place from May 30 to June 1 this year.
Lizzo, Paris Hilton, Remi Wolf, Kim Petras and Shygirl are headlining the OUTLOUD main stage, with additional performances by Shygirl Presents: Club Shy, Pabllo Vittar, Rebecca Black, Empress Of and more. Meanwhile, the SUMMERTRAMP stage, a 'sun-soaked party and dance oasis,' will feature both live performances and DJ sets, with Honey Dijon, Horse Meat Disco, salute and Meredith Marks topping the lineup.
All of this follows a free night of music on Friday, where Grammy-winning country-turned-pop star Maren Morris will perform, as well as Qveen Herby, Jamie Fine and more (you can RSVP to secure a spot here). Friday night will also feature the return of the Drag Queen Lip Sync Battle Royale.
In addition to the weekend's musical lineup, there's plenty happening off-stage as well—namely the free WeHo Pride Street Fair along Santa Monica Boulevard, between Hancock and La Peer, on Saturday and Sunday (noon–8pm). The fair hosts its own live entertainment and performances on a community stage. You'll also find the Women's Freedom Festival (noon–5:30pm) and motorcycle-led Dyke March (6–7pm) on Saturday, May 31.
When is the WeHo Pride Parade?
Then, on Sunday, June 1, WeHo Pride will hold a parade that starts at Santa Monica Boulevard and North Crescent Heights Boulevard at noon, then heads west on Santa Monica to San Vicente Boulevard (right at West Hollywood Park). Expect a colorful procession of floats, bands, dance teams, marchers and special guests to make their way along the mile-long route.

Lizzo flaunts her shrinking figure in activewear... after poking fun at Sydney Sweeney controversy
Lizzo showcased the results of her stunning weight loss on Instagram on Friday to share an announcement about her loungewear range Yitty. The 37-year-old rapper and singer — who recently referenced Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle campaign — appeared in a brief reel as she modeled mint-green biker shorts and a white zip-up track jacket. She was cheerful and bubbly as she told her nearly 12 million followers to 'get into this Yitty activewear!' 'If you want Yitty activewear, you can now get it at Walmart!' she added. She then declared, 'Yitty Active is everywhere!' The About Damn Time hitmaker sported a waist-length platinum-blond wig in the clip, and she looked beautiful in a full face of glamorous makeup. Lizzo was also wearing her unmissable diamond-encrusted Yitty chain and pendant. She recorded the short advert outside of a sprawling mansion, collecting thousands of likes. One day earlier the musician was also active on the social media app as she wore a two-piece gray set from her shapewear brand while snapping a mirror selfie in a luxe bathroom. Lizzo co-created the intimates line in partnership with Fabletics in April 2022. Earlier this week, the singer–songwriter name-dropped actress Sydney Sweeney, 27, in the lyrics of an unreleased rap song. She teased the track in a provocative video snippet in which she wore a denim jacket and matching shorts. It came on the heels of the Euphoria star's controversial American Eagle ad, which featured the slogan 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.' The campaign, which detractors accused of being inspired by eugenics, has come under fire for its perceived racial undertone.

Meanwhile, Lizzo's video outtake showed her washing and peering under the hood of a red sports car. She rapped in one line of the unreleased hip-hop track, 'Fat a**, pretty face with the t*tties. B*tch, I got good jeans like I'm Sydney.' The post was captioned, 'IM GOIN IN TILL OCTOBER.'

Pop star Lizzo talks about her weight loss and says she likes how she looks now
Pop star Lizzo talks about her weight loss and says she likes how she looks now Born Melissa Viviane Jefferson, 37, the singer is best known for her breakout song Juice which made her synonymous with body positivity, confidence and self-love. Lizzo has opened up over her nearly 27kg weight loss admitting "I still think I'm big" (Image: Raymond Hall/GC Images) Pop star Lizzo has talked about her weight loss, saying she still thinks she is "big" but that she likes how she looks now. Born Melissa Viviane Jefferson, 37, the singer is best known for her breakout song Juice which made her synonymous with body positivity, confidence and self-love. Despite her musicality and Grammy-award winning music, her weight has always been a point of discussion. Speaking to Women's Health UK, the singer opened up about how she feels about her body now. She said: "I like how I look now. I still think I'm big. I'm still wearing plus-size clothing. I have the same rolls. I got the same belly, the same thighs – I think I'm just a smaller version. "Body positivity has nothing to do with staying the same. Body positivity is the radical act of daring to exist loudly and proudly in a society that told you you shouldn't exist." "Me saying I love myself in 2016 was offensive to people... How dare you love yourself! You are fat and black and you're a woman, so you shouldn't love yourself... I had to fight for that (to love myself). "And now I'm fighting again... It's OK to release weight. It's OK to gain weight after you've released weight, because what you're not going to do is shame me if my body changes again and I get bigger." She also spoke about her struggles with binge eating, adding that she has now found a "beautiful balance" with food. She said: "There were times when I would eat so much that my stomach hurt. When I was done, I would be so uncomfortable, I couldn't breathe and wouldn't let anyone know. I would hide it. "I had so much food noise and connected so much emotion to food. If I was sad, anxious, stressed or working a lot, I would snack and just eat constantly. "I'm so proud of myself for overcoming that." This comes after the singer and her production company faced a lawsuit from three of her former dancers in August 2023, accusing her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. At the time, the pop singer described the allegations as "gut-wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing", saying the claims are "as unbelievable as they sound". In September 2023, similar allegations were made against Lizzo by stylist Asha Daniels who alleged she was subject to racial and sexual harassment and a hostile work environment while on tour with Lizzo. A US judge dismissed the specific allegations against Lizzo. In December 2024, during her first interview on the matter, she said on the Baby, This Is Keke Palmer podcast that the sexual harassment allegation "upsets me the most", but called the claims "silly" and "ridiculous". "I was literally living in my dream and then the tour ended, and three dancers just completely blindsided me with a lawsuit," she said. Article continues below Lawyer Ron Zambrano said in a statement to the PA news agency at the time: "Following up on reporting about comments Lizzo made on a podcast appearance regarding being dismissed from a lawsuit, we just wanted to clarify that Lizzo remains a defendant in the harassment lawsuit filed by dancers Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez." The full interview can be read in the September issue of Women's Health UK, out now.

Lizzo takes aim at Sydney Sweeney in new song lyrics amid American Eagle 'good jeans' campaign backlash
Lizzo donned Daisy Dukes and name-dropped Sydney Sweeney in the lyrics of her new song, I'm Goin In Till October, which she teased on Wednesday. It marked the 37-year-old rapper-singer-flautist's third parody in a week mocking the 27-year-old Euphoria stunner's controversial American Eagle campaign, which was accused of pushing Nazi-like eugenics as aspirational. 'No kizzy / He ain't got no business being with me,' Lizzo - who boasts 44.6M social media followers - rapped. 'Fat a** pretty face with the ti**ies / Bi***, I got good jeans like I'm Sydney!' The four-time Grammy winner - who rocked a waist-length platinum-blonde wig - twerked up a storm while pretending to wash a retro red car in the raunchy clip similar to Sydney's own 2020 Ford Shelby GT350. Last month, Lizzo - who gets 12.1M monthly listeners on Spotify - revealed she was 'back in the studio' so the new track will most likely appear on her upcoming fifth studio album, Love in Real Life. On Monday, the Crashout rapper posted a different American Eagle rap parody, which began with Fox commentator saying: 'We are over this woke agenda, we are over the Lizzos, we are over the Dylan Mulvaneys. If this was a 300-pound, non-binary person they would be applauding her.' Lizzo (born Melissa Jefferson) first lampooned the $3.3B denim brand last Thursday by reposting a political meme featuring an AI version of herself in a Texas tuxedo captioned: 'My jeans are black…' 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color,' Sweeney said in the original commercial. 'My jeans are blue.' The newly-registered Republican has yet to publicly address the 'White supremacy' backlash, but CEO Jay Schottenstein issued a statement last Friday stressing that the spot 'is and always was about the jeans' and noted that 'great jeans look good on everyone.' But everything changed for American Eagle on Sunday when President Donald Trump publicly gushed about Sydney's political leanings and told White House reporters that 'her ad is fantastic.' On Monday, the 79-year-old politician doubled down on his social media platform Truth Social, gushing: 'Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the HOTTEST ad out there. It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are "flying off the shelves." Go get 'em Sydney!' The Pittsburgh-based fashion retailer's stock price, which had dropped dramatically last week, surged over 13% specifically thanks to the Trump bump.

It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are "flying off the shelves." Go get 'em Sydney!' American Eagle pledged to donate 100% of the proceeds from 'The Sydney Jean' (featuring a butterfly patch representing domestic violence awareness) to mental health support non-profit, Crisis Text Line. Ironically, Lizzo told PAPER last week: 'I love my natural face. I look at my mother's face and I'm like hell yeah. I feel very blessed to have great genes and I wanna show it. Why cover up what God gave you?' On January 16, the Yitty co-creator announced that she had reached her weight-loss goal, lowered her body mass index (BMI) by 10.5, and lost 16% of her body fat since 2023. Lizzo - whose Halloween costume was Ozempic - repeatedly denied being on the trendy GLP-1 drug until June 19 when she confessed on the Just Trish podcast that she had tried it in the past. The Still Bad singer will next produce and star in a biopic about pioneering electric guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe, which will mark her biggest acting gig yet. Lizzo will eventually have to face her former back-up dancers - Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez - at a jury trial in Santa Monica Courthouse due to their sexual, religious, and racial harassment lawsuit.
