Headlined by Maren Morris, the evening also features performances by Qveen Herby, Jamie Fine, and others. While RSVP registration has closed, additional information is available at outloudmusicfestival.com.

Saturday brings a full slate of events, starting at noon with the WeHo Pride Street Fair, featuring vendors, community booths, and two performance stages—Rainbow and Celebration—along Santa Monica Boulevard between La Peer Drive and Hancock Avenue.

Thousands are expected to line the streets for the celebration of LGBTQ+ pride and creativity, complete with music, floats, and marching groups.

The 2025 WeHo Pride Parade Icons will be honored during the procession. This year’s honorees include model and actress Cara Delevingne, Love on the Spectrum star Pari Kim, former NFL player Chris Kluwe, and Emmy-nominated actress and filmmaker Nava Mau.
