To increase LGBTQ+ visibility, community, and acceptance, Queer Northshore brought PRIDE to the Northshore on June 1, 2024. On June 7, 2025, we’re doing it again.

What is PRIDE Northshore?

PRIDE Northshore is Southeast Louisiana’s celebration of LGBTQ+ PRIDE Month (June 1 - 30), produced by St Tammany-based nonprofit, Queer Northshore. As a 501c3, our mission is to promote LGBTQ+ visibility, community and acceptance through programing and events in the Northshore region of Southeast Louisiana.

The Northshore’s PRIDE Parade - June 7

Last year, over 600 people marched in our first Pride Parade. Check out the official photo album! This year, join us for PRIDE Northshore’s 2nd annual all-ages PRIDE Parade on the Mandeville Lakefront. While Pride is a celebration, it has always been an act of resistance. This year, as LGBTQ+ rights face relentless attacks from those in power, our theme—“Protesting with PRIDE”—honors the bold legacy of the 1969 Stonewall Riots, which sparked the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. In that spirit, we gather not only to celebrate—but to demand change. We march not just for joy, but for justice. We rally not just for visibility, but for liberation. We will not be silent. Walk with us. Stand with us. Celebrate with us as we Protest with PRIDE. 🏳️‍⚧️🔥

The PRIDE Northshore Block Party - June 7

The Block Party will take place at the Mandeville Trailhead immediately following the parade (5pm - 9pm). This free, all-ages event will feature Drag Queens, DJs, interactive Pride art installations, community partner booths, official Pride merchandise, and more. Cocktails, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase. Featured Food Trucks: Smokin’ Buddha BBQ and Taco y Birria. Join the Facebook event here.

The Rainbow Riot Dance Party - June 20

This 18+ event is a celebration of love, resistance, and queer joy—paying homage to the Stonewall Riots and the fearless activists who paved the way. Whether you're here to slay on the dance floor, cheer for the queens, or simply soak in the rainbows, Rainbow Riot is where you belong. The Northshore’s hottest one-night-only club has everything: DJs, Drag Queens, food, drinks and more. Come as you are, bring your crew, and let’s make this a night to remember! Because PRIDE is a party AND a protest.

The Northshore PRIDE Guide - All through June
