Gay parade boston
Boston Pride 2025 is this weekend, with a parade and other events scheduled to celebrate the largest annual Gay event in Massachusetts.
More than 1 million people attended Boston Pride events last year, the corporation said. Boston Event For The People says this year's theme is "Here to Stay" and will send a message that "people who identify as LGBTQIA+ can not be erased, pushed into the shadows, or silenced, in the face of increased political attacks."
Here's what to recognize about this year's festivities.
When and where is the Boston Pride parade?
The 2025 Boston Pride procession is happening on Saturday, June 14 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The parade will take place rain or shine.
