Carey posted the announcement on Instagram, writing, “I’m thrilled and honored to be a part of LA Pride 2023,” she wrote. “I am happy to be back in person celebrating with the LGBTQIA+ community here in Southern California and throughout all of the lands!!! Let’s come together to celebrate love, inclusion, and Pride.”

Meanwhile, in a separate statement, Meg said, “I can’t wait to headline LA Pride in the Park and celebrate the phenomenal LGBTQIA+ community. This incredible event advocates diversity, inclusivity and equality, so I’m honored to perform and have a blast with all of the Hotties in attendance.”

The theme for this year’s Pride In The Park event is “All Out With Pride,” and future performers will be announced in the coming months. The 2023 Pride In The Park celebration will take place at the Los Angeles State Historic Park on 6/9-10. You can find more information here.

Pride is back in LA, honey! LA Pride In The Park has a stacked line-up for you, too. Returning for the first time in two years, since the COVID-19 pandemic brought it to a temporary halt, Pride In The Park boasts a line-up of musicians, performers, and drag queens, representing all facets of the LGBTQ+ community.

On this year’s lineup are Michaela Jae (Pose), Chika, Syd, and Rebecca Black. Headlining the festival are Christina Aguilera and Anitta.

The festival will take place on June 11 at Los Angeles State Historic Park, and is supported by non-profit organization Christoper Street West, which organizes all of LA Pride‘s events.

“We’re thrilled to have women, the majority of them LGBTQIA+ artists of color, lead our mainstage event to celebrate our return to Pride,” said Gerald Garth, CSW’s vice president of community programming and initiatives, in a statement. “Los Angeles represents a broad range of cultures, backgrounds and identities, especially across the BIPOC communities. Bringing influential and diverse artists is a nod to the many different people reflected within our community.”

In addition to the musical performers, several drag queens are on the bill, including Eureka and Bob The Drag Queen, from RuPaul’s Drag Race and We’re Here. Tickets are available for purchase now.
