When is Boston Pride?
Boston Pride — produced by the volunteer-led Boston Pride For The People — is the largest Pride celebration in New England, held on the second Saturday of June each year. In 2027, that's expected to be Saturday, June 12.
The Parade & Festival
The parade steps off around 11 AM at Copley Square, winds through the South End and Back Bay, and ends at Boston Common, where an all-ages festival and concert run through the afternoon (roughly noon-6 PM), followed by a block party.
Boston Dyke March
The Boston Dyke March is a separate grassroots event held the Friday evening before the parade, starting around 6:30 PM at the Parkman Bandstand on Boston Common.
Pride Month
Throughout June, bars and venues across the South End, Jamaica Plain, and Cambridge host Pride programming — drag brunches, dance parties, and community events. Browse what's on at Out x Out.
