DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Expect a colorful spectacle of pageantry and fun as DTLA Proud marks its 10th anniversary this weekend.
This year’s festival will bring three unforgettable events to the Olvera Street Southside Plaza on Sunday, Aug. 24.
The one-day event, celebrating inclusion and representation, includes a free family day from 12-6 p.m. at the iconic Placita Olvera Gazebo.
Executive director and founder Oliver Alpuche said this year’s festival will highlight Latin excellence, with a lineup of diverse acts and performers on the Latin Stage.
“What DTLA Proud wants to bring to the table is a place where you could see yourself on the main stage, where you could see yourself in the audience,” Alpuche said.
Attendees can also enjoy carnival games, face painting and a variety of free resource booths to learn about support available for LGBTQ+ families, youth and allies.
In the heart of Southside Plaza, a 21-and-up DTLA Proud Block Party and Marketplace will happen from 12-8 p.m., featuring more than 20 queer and drag artists.
“DTLA Proud is going to look a little different this year,” Alpuche said. “We want to bring everyone together in one day, (and) it’ll just be a fun time to really connect with the community and showcase the talent that is in downtown.”
The block party and this year’s SUMMERTRAMP party require a ticket, available now online.
Live DJs will spin beats at the Block Party, while more than 50 vendors invite you to enjoy one-of-a-kind art, fashion and collectables.
In the Rainbow District Bar Hub, revelers will also find signature cocktails and good vibes.
At La Plaza de Cultura y Artes, SUMMERTRAMP will invite visitors to a celebration of identity and expression.
The event encourages everyone to get immersed in dazzling pool parties, art installations and surprise pop-up experiences.
SUMMERTRAMP is open to visitors ages 21 and up.
Proceeds from both ticketed events support LGBTQ+ initiatives in downtown Los Angeles.
The festival is located at 535 N Main St., in Los Angeles.
