On Broadway

📣 📰 This weekend is one of the busiest in the City of Long Beach as the community celebrates Pride and the LGBTQ+ community. Long Beach is proud to host the Pride Parade, which will occur as promised this year, and will feature 141 entries—the most in City history. Many Long Beach bars, restaurants and businesses will be fully activated, and the City has permitted five special events to activate additional spaces. Information on all that is happening this weekend in celebration of the LGBTQ+ community can be found at 💻 visitlongbeach.com/events/annual-events/long-beach-pride, which will be updated throughout the weekend. The City encourages everyone to have fun and celebrate safely.

Unfortunately, one event, the Long Beach Pride Festival, will not be able to take place this year as sufficient information to safely permit the event has not been made available by the event organizers. To accommodate those coming into town for that event, Long Beach will add additional transit options to connect downtown locations to the Bixby Park area so that there are many options available to celebrate in Long Beach. More information regarding these additional transit options will be shared at ➡️ VisitLongBeach.com.

For the full statement and additional background, including information on the Pride Parade, and City-issued refunds for special business licenses and health permits related to the festival that is no longer taking place, please visit the 🔗 lbcity.info/lbprs where you can also learn more about the City’s continued support of the LGBTQ+ community.

Curious about who might have built your house or lived there before you? Come to the History Hangout on January 10th, 1-2:30pm. Get some expert help from board members, Ron Mahan and Maureen Neeley. Delve into the HSLB collection and online sources of digital and paper records, permits, photos, and more.
