LA’s beloved grassroots LGBTQ+ festival returns to Pershing Square on Friday, Saturday and Sunday August 27-29, 2021.
Friday evening festivities will launch with all-ages entertainment plus a special screening of our full-length documentary, PROUD in a Pandemic.
Saturday and Sunday will turn up the heat and feature a diverse array of stage performances, DJs, local bars, community booths, art installations, LGBTQ+ vendors, food trucks and everyone’s favorite pop-up waterpark dance party, Summertramp.
The COVID-19 pandemic challenged the DTLA PROUD organizers to re-examine the true meaning of Pride without physical events. Coupled with the historic uprising against racial injustice and discrimination, this film captures a moment in time when despite these common struggles, the breadth and diversity of the LGBTQ+ community is becoming more connected and united than ever before. The PROUD in a Pandemic film is a time capsule of stories about the innovation, survival, and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community.
