PRIDE Northshore Mission and Program

PRIDE Northshore is Southeast Louisiana’s all-ages 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 in Southeast Louisiana’s Northshore region.

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 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.
This 21+ 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.
PRIDE Northshore will also include dozens of events and offerings from business partners throughout the Northshore. These events will be included in our Northshore PRIDE Guide, available online and distributed at businesses. Catch LGBTQ+ musicians, Drag Queens, and other artists performing at venues across the Northshore, as well as businesses offering special products or services for PRIDE. These Patrons of Pride partners will be contributing a percentage of sales to Queer Northshore.

Louisiana has over 200k LGBTQ+ adult residents, and thousands of them live right here on the Northshore. No other outlet in the area will allow your business to connect with thousands of LGBTQ+ individuals and their families with the same impact and reach that PRIDE Northshore will. According to Harns/Witeck-Combs, 72% of LGBTQ+ individuals prefer to buy from companies that advertise to them directly. Showing your support for PRIDE Northshore conveys that you stand with the LGBTQ+ community and tells our community that we can take pride in your business.
