Welcome to the Gayborhood
Long Beach’s celebration kicks off Pride season in Greater Los Angeles, with WeHo Pride June 5-6, 2026, followed by LA Pride on June 14, 2026. Long Beach's history is intimately tied to its LGBTQ+ community, and today the city is home to many restaurants, bars, and small businesses that foster that community, many clustered along the Broadway Corridor. City officials are working to designate the Broadway Corridor as a cultural district to recognize that history.
