Northshore PRIDE 2025 Parade Walking Group Registration

Thank you for your interest in participating as a walking group in the second annual PRIDE Northshore Parade!

Nonprofit Queer Northshore will host its 2nd Annual PRIDE Parade on Saturday, June 7th.  

This all ages PRIDE Parade will take place on the Mandeville Lakefront with an updated, longer route that turns up Girod Street and ends at the Mandeville Trailhead where the afterparty will take place. This parade is open to all members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies who believe in inclusivity, diversity, and equality in Louisiana. While PRIDE is a celebration, it has always been an act of resistance. This year, as LGBTQ+ rights face relentless attacks from those in power, our theme—“Protesting with PRIDE”—honors the courageous legacy of the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the uprising that ignited the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. Today, we stand in defiance of the government-sponsored bigotry targeting trans and queer people across our country. We march not just for joy, but for justice. We rally not just for visibility, but for liberation. We will not be silent. Come walk with us. Stand with us. Celebrate with us as we Protest with PRIDE. 🏳️‍⚧️🔥
