New Orleans Pride is June 7-9: What to know

The big picture: New Orleans is consistently considered one of the most LGBTQ+-friendly cities in the country, and that's on full display during Pride.

• Pride events got started over the weekend, but there are plenty more ways to celebrate or show your allyship with the LGBTQ+ community.

Yes, but: Pride is different from Southern Decadence, another LGBTQ+ celebration that takes place over Labor Day weekend.

Here are some of the noteworthy events this weekend:

🏳️‍🌈 PrideFest from 11am to 5pm Saturday at the Phoenix.

🏳️‍🌈 Black Queer Community Fest from 1pm to 8pm Saturday in Armstrong Park. (Tickets)

🏳️‍🌈 The NOLA Pride Parade, which rolls at 6pm Saturday through the Marigny and French Quarter. (Route)

🏳️‍🌈 Longue Vue Family Equality Day from 10am to 5pm Sunday at the Longue Vue House & Gardens.

Between the lines: Like most American cities, New Orleans doesn't have a lesbian bar.

• But it does have the pop-up bar Grrlspot, and the organization is hosting parties this weekend.
