2025 Pride Houston 365 celebration lights up downtown, celebrating love, unity, and resilience
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Event Houston 365 added another chapter to its legacy with the 47th annual parade in downtown Houston.
The celebration is known to draw thousands all in the name of identifying love and unity, and this year was no different.
The organization said that while it's still finalizing numbers, early estimates insert attendance at over 200,000 people.
On Saturday, the pride once again started adjacent City Hall and moved through the area with a colorful display of floats, performers, and people groups.
ABC13, the official media partner of Pride Houston 365, also joined the festivities with a contingent of walkers along the route.
Considered one of the largest Pride events in the South, the celebration is far from the only way the LGBTQIA+ community and allies celebrate.
Events surrounding the parade usually include a festival, which focuses on providing collective resources, plus a fashion show and reception.
This year, nine grand marshals were called to lead the charge as Pride Houston continued its mission of celebrating strength, resilience, diversity and freedoms
