West Hollywood welcomes all.
The Rainbow District: 1 Mile of Magic
The beating heart of LA’s LGBTQ+ scene is the Rainbow District, a 1-mile stretch of Santa Monica Boulevard packed with more than 50 LGBTQ+-owned businesses. Day or night, the energy is unmistakable, with patios buzzing and dance floors full at iconic spots like The Abbey, Micky’s and Revolver.
West Hollywood also honors its past through meaningful public spaces like STORIES: The AIDS Monument. Located in West Hollywood Park, the monument is a powerful tribute to those lost to the AIDS epidemic, a space for reflection and a reminder of the community’s resilience.
Pride Takes Center Stage
The Rainbow District is home to some of WeHo’s most celebrated events, including the legendary West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval and WeHo Pride — a 40-day celebration featuring concerts, community events and one of the most iconic Pride parades in the country.
