HONOLULU (KHON2) — The Hawaii LGBT Legacy Foundation (HLLF) has announced the lineup of events for Honolulu Pride 2024, with celebrations culminating in the Honolulu Pride Parade and Festival set for October 19.
“Honolulu Pride is the largest event of the year for the Hawaii LGBT Legacy Foundation,” said HLLF Executive Director Randy Soriano. “It serves as both a celebration of the MVPFAFF/LGBTQIA+ community and a recognition of the allies working to make Hawaii more inclusive.”
This year’s parade, featuring over 150 entries and more than 4,000 participants, will kick off at 4:00 p.m. along Kalakaua Avenue, stretching from Magic Island to Kapiolani Park.
The parade will honor five grand marshals, including HLLF founding board members Dr. David McEwan, Sheri Mann, David Brustein, Puakea Nogelmeier, and Bill Char.
Following the parade, the Honolulu Pride Festival will begin at 5 p.m. at Waikiki Shell.
Participants can expect various booths, community resources, food, drinks, and live performances from Marina Summers, a star of “Drag Race Philippines,” and Nymphia Wind, winner of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16.
In addition to the main events, Pride Weekend will feature performances by Vincent Rodriguez III and Kathy Griffin at Hawaii Theatre, an official opening party at Scarlet Honolulu, an after-party at Hula’s Bar and Lei Stand, and a Rainbow Runway Drag Brunch presented by Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines at the Alohilani Resort.
Tickets for individual events and VIP passes, which include access to the Pink Pony VIP Lounge at the Honolulu Pride Festival, are available on their website.
