So much fierceness and pride!

The Pride celebration continued during the second and final day of LA Pride in the Park, one of the most sought-after and largest Official Pride concerts in the country. The multi-stage concert experience hosted by Christopher Street West Association (CSW) – the nonprofit that’s produced the iconic LA Pride celebration for more than 50 years – welcomed guests with pomp and circumstance to celebrate Pride month. Attendees were greeted with bursts of color that led them to a plethora of activations, F&B vendors, activities, dancing, and of course world-renowned performances.

Mariah Carey, Saturday night’s headliner on the Maine Stage, entertained thousands of members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies as they ascended onto the Los Angeles State Historic Park. Carey lit up the stage with her iconic vocals, performing a wide range of songs from her catalog including “Fantasy,” “Heartbreaker,” “Obsessed,” and a medley of The Emancipation of Mimi (“It’s Like That,” “Shake it Off,” and “We Belong Together”). The crowd was mesmerized by eye-popping visuals including dancers on stilts, a neon convertible, a giant inflatable unicorn, and dancers dressed reminiscent of Tom of Finland. During her performance, she stopped to make a Mean Girls reference, hoping to tear a piece of her crown to share with everyone. She concluded her set with a touching encore of “Hero,” which moved the crowd to tears and a warmth of love.

Additional performances throughout the day on the Main Stage included King Princess, Violet Chachki, Gottmik, Sasha Colby, JENEVIEVE, VINCINT, Alex Chapman, Mad Tsai, Minke, Ah Mer Ah Su, Bobby Newberry, and The Iconic House of Ninja + Friends. The All Out Stage featured performances from A Club Called Rhonda, Emeryld, Neyva, Lyle Anthony, Chanel Jolé, Soltera, and The Mannequins.

In addition to first-in-class entertainment, fest-goers were treated to surprise appearances on the Main Stage by Trace Lysette, Johnny Sibilly, Emma Hunton, Maia Mitchell, and others.
