Los Angeles, CA – On June 16, in the heart of Boyle Heights, a neighborhood known for its Chicano culture and activism, hundreds gathered for Orgullo Fest. The yearly festival brings together different communities and allows participants to celebrate both their Chicano and LGBTQ identities in an important cultural and social celebration.

Orgullo Fest was born out of a grassroots effort by local activists and leaders who recognized the need for an inclusive space. Juarez, an events organizer from the neighborhood, managed this year’s celebration.

Boyle Heights, with its strong history of Chicano activism dating back to the Chicano Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, provides a fitting backdrop for this unique festival.

The festival is a lively mix of cultural events, including a parade, live music, dance performances, art exhibitions, mariachi bands, folklorico dancers, and contemporary artists. This blending of cultural and sexual identities creates a more inclusive environment, encouraging solidarity and mutual respect. This historical context enriches the festival, providing attendees with a profound sense of pride.

Orgullo Fest has had a significant positive impact on Boyle Heights. It provides a platform for LGBTQ Chicanos to express themselves freely and fosters greater understanding and acceptance within the broader community. Local businesses and organizations also benefit from the increased visibility the festival brings to the area.

Orgullo Fest is more than a celebration; it is a powerful statement of identity, resilience and unity, and embodies the spirit of inclusivity and activism that has long defined Boyle Heights. Centro CSO members attended the event, participating in the festivities and celebrating with the community.
