Join the City of West Hollywood in celebrating Harvey Milk Day!

Save the date of Thursday, May 22, 2025! The event will take place in the early evening at West Hollywood Park.

May 22 also marks the first day of WeHo Pride! (May 22-June 30). The WeHo Pride Arts Festival will take place from May 23-25.

We will be celebrating the political legacy of Harvey Milk, the first openly LGBTQ person to win political office in California, and holding the 3rd annual José Julio Sarria Drag Pageant. Sarria was the first openly gay man to run for office in the United States in 1961 and helped pave the way for Harvey Milk’s successful run for office. José Julio Sarria was also a well-known drag performer under the name Window Norton, and founded the International Imperial Court System which is one of the oldest and largest LGBT organizations in the world.
