OC Pride 2025 Festival & Parade

At OC Pride, we believe Pride should always feel like a joyful, welcoming celebration for everyone. Your safety and comfort are just as important as the music, the parade, and the community that comes together every year. That’s why our Pride Parade and Festival are hosted at the OC Fair & Event Center—a fully enclosed, private venue. This setting allows us to provide a safer and more controlled environment, while still preserving the spirit of visibility and celebration that Pride is all about. Security Measures in Place Parade & Festival Security: The OC Fair & Event Center’s professional security team will be present throughout the event, with Orange County Sheriff’s Department deputies onsite, working alongside them to help ensure a safe and welcoming celebration. Controlled Entry: All guests enter through secured gates with advanced weapons detection scanners that keep lines moving while maintaining a high level of safety. Onsite Presence: Security officers and deputies will be stationed throughout the grounds to assist and provide support as needed. Ongoing Monitoring: Security teams are actively assessing risks in real-time to help maintain a safe environment for all. Community Accountability We are committed to maintaining a space where everyone can celebrate freely, authentically, and safely. OC Pride reserves the right to refuse entry or remove individuals who pose a threat, violate community guidelines, or endanger others. Pride is about celebration, visibility, and community. While we take security seriously, our goal is to create a space where you can relax, connect, and celebrate—knowing your safety is a top priority.
