The streets of West Hollywood were bursting with bubbles and fluttering confetti.
The WeHo Pride Parade took place along Santa Monica Boulevard on June 7. UCLA and UCLA Health were represented along the parade route and among the attendees. The annual parade is part of broader WeHo Pride programming that has taken place in West Hollywood since 2022, though the city has recorded Pride events as early as 1979.
West Hollywood has long served as a nationally influential hub for LGBTQ+ life and advocacy, shaped by its early adoption of Pride and its continued role as a cultural center for visibility and community building.
