The Down Town Los Angeles (DTLA) Proud Festival takes place each year in August at Pershing Square.
Founded by a grassroots group of local residents, business owners, community leaders and nightlife promoters, DTLA Proud was born from the idea that together they could create an all-inclusive festival that represents the diverse LGBTQ+ population that lives, works and plays in the thriving heart of the city of Los Angeles.
The Schedule
- 4.pm to 10.pm Friday – Evening festivities will launch with all-ages entertainment plus a special screening of the full-length documentary, PROUD in a Pandemic.
- 12.pm to 10,pm Saturday and Sunday – DTLA turns up the heat and features a diverse array of stage performances, DJs, local bars, community booths, art installations, LGBTQ+ vendors, food trucks and everyone’s favorite pop-up waterpark dance party, Summertramp.
DTLA has become one of the hottest neighbourhoods in the city over the past 4 years and the DLTA Proud event puts the centre of the city on the gay map each August.
