Last Update - Honolulu LGBT Pride Parade and Celebration - June 5th

Aloha!

We are now a couple of days away from the 20th Anniversary of the Honolulu LGBT Pride Parade and Celebration!

There has been a little change and that is we are starting the Parade from the Ala Wai Yacht Brokerage that is located at 1651 Ala Moana Blvd and we have included a map to help you locate it. It is right next the to the Hawaii Prince.

The only draw back from this change is that there is NO PARKING at this location. Only Parade vehicles will be allowed in. So you will need to either park at Magic Island and walk over or the better option is for drivers to drop off your passengers at the Ala Wai Yacht Brokerage and then park your car at Kapiolani Park and ride the PFLAG Trolley back to the Start of the Parade. The Trolley will leave Kapiolani Park right at 8:30 AM.

It is not too late to register your group or business to be in the Parade.

If you ride a motorcycle, crotchrocket or how ever you want to call it Dykes-on-bikes kick off the parade as they have for the previous 19 years.

We also have a Couples Unit being lead by one of our Couples Grand Marshal Kimi & Diane Racine.

Remember if you are an individual or just a group of friends there is no cost to walk in the parade, just like the Dykes-on-Bikes or couples units and you do not need to register. Just show-up and you are in!

Here is the TIMELINE for the Parade and Celebration on June 5th:

7:00 AM – Unit Check-in begins at the Ala Wai Yacht Brokerage

8:30 AM – Trolley leaves Kapiolani Park for the Start of the Parade
