Be a part of the nation’s original nighttime Pride Parade!

Here are a few suggestions to make everyone's pride more enjoyable...

1. Drink plenty of water. Houston in June is very hot, even at night.
2. Get there early. We recommend that you take some time to find the spot that is best for you. Better yet, get there real early and have fun at the Pride Festival before staking out your spot.
3. Walk, take public transport, carpool. Parking can be scarce in the area on Parade night and the traffic leaving can be heavy.
4. Respect the neighbors. Help keep Montrose the unique, friendly, beautiful neighborhood it is. Please do not park on lawns, block driveways or disturb the neighbors. You can also show your respect by using a trash can.
5. Dress light.
6. Keep the pets at home. Sure, your pet has Pride too, but a crowd of 150,000 might scare the GLBT right out of Fluffy!
7. Don't worry, be happy. If you encounter any problems please let one of the many volunteer parade marshals along the route know.
8. Invite everyone. Pride celebrates our diversity and the Parade just isn't the same without it.
9. Play it safe! This may be Montrose, but you're still in a big city! Don't ruin your celebration by becoming a victim of crime. Call 911 if there is trouble!
