The Parade Route

The parade will embark on a scenic journey down Shoreline Boulevard, starting from the Great Lawn at Water’s Edge Park, winding around Shoreline and Kinney Street, and finishing at the North Lot of Water’s Edge Park.

A Growing Tradition

Last year, over 500 participants marched together, creating an unforgettable display of unity. This year, we’re taking it to the next level. Now in its 9th year, businesses, student groups, community organizations, and individuals will once again come together to dance, march, and celebrate with pride.

Highlights and Community Leaders

• Dykes and Friends on Bikes return, leading the parade with roaring engines and a proud nod to the history of Pride marches.

• We’re joined by City Councilman Eric Cantu, standing in solidarity with our LGBTQIA+ community.

• A colorful lineup of community groups like Islander Feminists, local organizations like the Texas Riviera Empire, businesses like Gulf Coast Growth Ventures, and allies will fill the streets with energy and pride.

More Than a Parade

This event is more than a celebration, it’s a movement. Every marcher, every ally, and every voice amplifies our collective call for love, acceptance, and equality. Together, we’ll create a vibrant and lasting mark on our city and our community.

Mark your calendars, gather your friends and allies, and get ready to celebrate Pride Corpus Christi 2025 with us. This year, we’re painting the city with our colors brighter than ever before.

And the celebration doesn’t stop there, join us immediately following the parade for the Pride Corpus Christi Block Party at Water’s Edge Park, from 5:00 to 10:00 PM.
