Pride Galveston attracts thousands of visitors from nearby Houston and beyond for an amazing pride parade and party by the beach.
Nothing says summer in Houston like a trek to Galveston with your boys in tow rocking skimpy suits and underwear. And what better time to visit than during the annual pride celebrations.
- Top Tip! – Weekends are especially busy, so book your hotel well in advance. We recommend the Tremont House, a charming 4 star hotel with a great rooftop bar in the center of town.
Pride Galveston began in 2017 as Beach Bash & Block Party, when Jamie Fuller-Waymire & Terry Fuller-Waymire decided a PRIDE festival would be a wonderful idea, as the island was lacking an event designed for the community. Pride Galveston has since ballooned into a three day celebration.
The main event, Pride Galveston Beach Bash & Block Party Weekend is the highlight of the event. Other parties include the Mr & Miss Pride Galveston Pageant. After parties take place at the Piano Lounge at 23rd Street Station and at Robert’s Lafitte. Sunday’s pool party at Lafitte is the final goodbye event not to be missed.
