The 24th Annual Official Gay Easter Parade is ready to roll Easter Sunday at 4:30 p.m.

April 8, 2025 By Tomy Acosta

The 24th Annual Official Gay Easter Parade is scheduled to roll Easter Sunday, April 20 at 4:30pm.  The parade will consist of numerous carriages, walking groups and convertibles. 

The Gay Easter Parade started in 2000 in New Orleans as a fun way to showcase the fashion and creativity of the entire LGBTQ+ community with ladies in gowns or summer suits with Easter Hats and gentlemen in summer suits or tuxedos. It’s meant to be a fun cultural event the whole family can attend regardless of whether or not you identify as LGBTQ+.

The annual parade is a fundraising event for Food for Friends, a division of CrescentCare.  Since 2003 the parade has raised $379,846.38 for Food for Friends.
