DTLA Proud Festival Los Angeles 2022

DTLA Proud Festival Los Angeles 2022

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.
