The Big Gayborhood Gathering is taking over Bixby Park for an afternoon of community, music, art, local LGBTQ+ vendors, performances, activities and plenty of reasons to meet someone new.

Bring a picnic, grab your friends, bring your chosen family—or come solo and find your people. Explore our Proud! Arts & Crafts Market, hang out with community camps, discover local organizations and artists, catch performances, and spend the afternoon celebrating the beautifully diverse LGBTQ+ community that makes Long Beach home.

Most importantly, this is a gathering, not just something you come to watch. We want you to participate, connect, wander into a camp, meet your neighbors and be part of creating the Gayborhood we want year-round.

The Gathering also marks the road toward Be Proud! Fest 2027, our vision for a larger Pride celebration created with and for the community.

LOCATION INFO: Bixby Park between Ocean and 1st. Corner of Ocean & Junipero
