Rain or shine, hundreds of thousands of LGBTQ+ people and allies are expected to come out for Boston’s biggest, annual Pride festivities — Boston Pride for the People’s parade through Back Bay with a festival on Boston Common, plus a 21+ block party at City Hall Plaza, all on June 8, 2024.

Says BPFTP’s welcoming statement:
We have over 300 contingents signed up to march, with nearly 15,000 people celebrating in their own way from Copley Square through the South End, before spilling into the festival at Boston Common. They come from all walks of life: community organizations, youth agencies, schools, small businesses, faith institutions, big companies, advocacy groups, individuals and many others.
The beauty of how we live our truth as LGBTQ+ people will be on full display – In Living Color.
Festival on the Common will include over 200 vendors eager to interact with attendees. Entertainment on the main stage will be featured throughout the day. The Block Party at City Hall Plaza gets jumping at 2:00pm, for anyone 21+, with more vendors and entertainment.
At PRIDE, everyone belongs.
We are a young grassroots organization which still has a lot to learn and much more growing to do. We invite anyone who wants to be part of this movement to join us. Be a part of one of our many committees, or sign up as a member of our large group of volunteers that makes Pride happen. We hear requests and calls for action on many fronts for Boston Pride for the People, and we welcome your input and participation. Boston Pride for the People is committed to ongoing dialogue as we support, highlight, and celebrate the New England LGBTQ+ community.
