Boston Pride for the People
About This Event
Boston Pride for the People is the primary organizer of Boston's annual Pride celebration, a week-long series of events culminating in a major parade and festival. Historically, Boston Pride began in 1970 as a small march and rally, evolving over decades into one of the largest Pride events in the United States. Following the dissolution of the previous Boston Pride organization in 2021, Boston Pride for the People emerged as a community-driven, grassroots non-profit focused on inclusivity and centering BIPOC and trans leadership. Attendees can expect a vibrant parade through the city's iconic neighborhoods, a festival on Boston Common with live performances, local vendors, and family-friendly activities, as well as various parties and educational events throughout the week. The vibe is a blend of celebration, community engagement, and political advocacy, reflecting Boston's rich LGBTQ+ history and ongoing commitment to equality.
