2008 L.A. Pride Information
If I want to march in the parade, what do I need to do? Simply show up at the street Eucharist at 9am. After the Eucharist, we will announce where and when people need to re-convene at 10:30am in order to join our group for the march which begins at 11am. THERE IS NO ADMISSION CHARGE to march in the parade.  Other than comfortable walking shoes, no special attire is required.  Simply bring your joy and enthusiasm.  If you'd like, you can volunteer to carry our banner, various flags, or a sign representing one of our various communities of faith. 

What about parking? Try carpooling in two cars, and park one at the end of the parade route (somewhere in the vicinity of Robertson and Melrose) and then proceed to the Street Eucharist in the second car. If you only have one car, you may want to park it near the halfway point at La Cienega and Santa Monica Blvd., and walk east and north to the street Eucharist location.

There is a $20 admission fee to the street festival ($17 if purchased in advance online at: https://tix.extremetix.com/tix/SilverStream/Pages/pgIndex.html?siteID=1095 ).  If you’ve signed-up to help staff our festival booth, your admission has been covered - contact Brian McDonald and Michael Bell for details.
How else can I get involved and help out? To let us know that you plan to march with us, please email Michael Bell at bcglm@msbell.com
