LA Pride to go online for 50th anniversary as in-person events are canceled due to COVID-19

Organizers have canceled LA Pride, one of California’s largest gay and lesbian rights festivals, amid the coronavirus pandemic, officials announced Thursday.

The 50th annual LA Pride Parade and Festival will be held digitally this year, according to nonprofit organizer Christopher Street West.

The event typically occurs in June and attracts thousands of people to West Hollywood for the celebration.

Officials hope to resume the festival in-person in 2021.
