• • • IMPORTANT PRIDE UPDATE • • •

With heavy hearts, and out of concern for the safety of our community, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the 2026 Pride Houston 365 Parade due to severe weather and flooding conditions.

The safety of our attendees, participants, volunteers, and staff must come first.

The Pride Houston 365 Festival will remain open until 7 PM at Houston City Hall, and we welcome everyone who can safely attend to join us in celebrating our community.

We have spoken with the Mayor’s Office and have strong support from the community and state representatives as we explore options to reschedule the parade. A roundtable discussion will be held with stakeholders to review potential dates between July 19 and October 31. We will keep our community updated as plans develop.

Thank you for your understanding, support, and continued Pride. Please stay safe and take care of one another.

June is gearing up to be a BUSY month! Whether you're headed out for 🌈Pride Festivities or ⚽️World Cup Fan Fest, it's always a good idea to make a safety plan and be prepared.
• Allow extra time for traffic and adhere to all road closure signs.
• Dress for the weather...and don't forget sunscreen!
• Stay hydrated.
• Use the City of Houston ParkHouston app for parking options.
• If you’re coming with a group, designate a meeting spot if you get separated.
• Most importantly...if you SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING. Report suspicious bags, packages or activities immediately.
