The Pride Houston 365<\/a>‘s parade scheduled for Saturday evening has been canceled due to weather, with plans to reschedule the festivities after the FIFA World Cup games in Houston, organizers said.<\/p>\n

The 2026 event was originally scheduled for Saturday, June 6, to account for festivities related to the World Cup later in the month, when the Pride parade is usually held.<\/p>\n

The city of Houston will host seven World Cup matches starting Sunday, June 14, and ending on Saturday, July 4.<\/p>\n

The official parade theme for 2026 is “Limitless,” which represents expansion, elevation, and breaking boundaries across community, culture, and impact, according to organizers.<\/p>\n

“We’ve fought hard for every step forward, and we deserve to celebrate those wins loudly. Each event, from Soaked to Rock the Runway, Eden, and the Festival and Parade, is intentional,” says Kerry-Ann Morrison, President of Pride Houston 365. “Pride Houston is where our culture, our voices, and our joy come together unapologetically.”<\/p>\n

The original multi-day celebration was expected to feature some big names, including Big Freedia the Queen Diva, a New Orleans rapper and artist known for her career in bounce music and collaborations with Beyonc\u00e9 and Drake. She will serve as an official host.<\/p>\n

Singer Dawn Richard, a former member of the group Danity Kane, Ha Sizzle, and more were on tap for featured performances as well.<\/p>\n

The 2025 parade was attended by an estimated 200,000 people, according to organizers.<\/p>\n

There will still be plenty to celebrate with the rollout of the Black Like That Festival<\/a>, created in partnership with Pride Houston 365.<\/p>\n

The festival will take place on Saturday, June 27 at Ironworks, located at 711 Milby St.<\/p>\n

Houston artist, activist, and the founder of the Urban Souls Dance Company Harrison Guy will serve as the creative and producing director for the Black Like That Festival.<\/p>\n

The Black Like That Festival’s theme will center Black women and is expected to feature national headliners, Houston talent, local vendors, and businesses.<\/p>\n

The festival’s date is also intentional as it will be held on the eve of the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.<\/p>\n

Pride Houston is the third largest pride event in the U.S., and among the top 20 internationally. It is also the second largest event in Houston annually, just behind RodeoHouston.<\/p>\n

The first Houston Gay Pride Parade happened back in 1979, commemorating the raid on New York’s Stonewall Inn 10 years earlier.<\/p>\n

ABC13 is a proud media sponsor and will stream the parade live on June 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pride Houston 365‘s parade scheduled for Saturday evening has been canceled due to weather, with plans to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":326182,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57,109614,116640,12874,6132],"class_list":["post-326181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news","tag-organizers","tag-parade-theme","tag-pride-houston","tag-pride-parade"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=326181"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326181\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/326182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=326181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=326181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=326181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
