Boston Pride 2025: events, parade and hotels

Boston Pride 2025, happening on June 14, is hosted by the volunteers at Boston Pride for the People. This grassroots-led event includes a massive parade, family festival, and block party, attracting over a million attendees.

The 2025 Boston Pride Parade and Festival spans Boston Common and City Hall Plaza. It's the biggest pride event in New England. The parade begins at 11 AM in Copley Square. A family-friendly concert and festival follows on Boston Common, while a 21+ block party takes place at City Hall Plaza.

Boston held its first Pride in 1971. The original Boston Pride organization dissolved in 2021 amid calls for reform. Boston Pride For The People emerged to carry on the tradition.
