Go West for the One City One Pride Arts Festival! These (mostly) free arts events are held in WeHo through the end of June to celebrate Pride month. Enjoy interactive, performing and visual arts all around town.
In 2017, the theme “Go West” aims to convey movement toward a promised land. For LGBTQ+ people, this includes the dream of gay liberation and freedom to live openly on the West coast. The One City One Pride festival explores what pride means to those who accepted the call to “Go West!”
