For one evening every October, the bayfront belongs to us. The 10th Pride Corpus Christi Parade steps off at 4:30 PM on Saturday, October 10, 2026, along Shoreline Blvd. by Water’s Edge Park.
Floats, banners, marching groups and music, and everyone else lining the route to cheer them past. It is free, it is open to all, and no ticket has ever been needed. Bring a chair, bring a flag, bring whoever you love.
Each year the community chooses the people who go out front — the ones who have done the work, often quietly, and often when it was not easy to.
Brittany Andrews leads as Grand Marshal. Ellison Powers leads as Emerging Leader Grand Marshal.
Johnny Hotcakes & Kitana Sanchez call the parade as it passes, so you know who is rolling by and why they are there. It is presented by Hicks Family Subaru, whose support is what puts it on the street.
Registration has closed for this year. Staging times, line-up positions and everything else you need on the day are in the participant portal.
When the last entry passes, it does not stop — the Block Party picks up where the route ends.
We’ll email you twice — the week before, and on the morning of the parade — with the times, the route and where to stand. Nothing else.
October - LGBT History Month
Pride Corpus Christi began as a response. On June 12, 2016, forty-nine people were killed at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando. CCLGBT organized a candlelight vigil here in response, and it was that gathering that sparked the re-emergence of Pride in Corpus Christi. The first Pride Corpus Christi was held downtown the following year, and there has been a parade every year since.
The march is older than we are. On June 28, 1969, patrons of the Stonewall Inn in New York fought back against a police raid; the first Pride marches followed a year later. Every parade since has been both a celebration and a demonstration, and ours is no different.
We keep our own history too. Our Community Lives is the archive where it lives — recorded in the words of the people who were here for it.
The parade falls in October, which is LGBT History Month in the United States. Marching down Shoreline in daylight is itself part of the record — and every year of it is something the archive will hold.

They are not announcers so much as the reason the route stops moving. Groups pull up in front of them and give it everything — a full routine, a song, a chant — and the shout-out comes straight back out to the crowd.
