The City of West Hollywood’s WeHo Pride Arts Festival (formerly known as the One City One Pride LGBTQ Arts Festival) is an annual celebration of LGBTQ+ creativity, featuring performances, film, literary arts, art-making workshops and more. Held as part of WeHo Pride, the Arts Festival takes place May 23-24, 2026, at The Los Angeles LGBT Center’s Village at Ed Gould Plaza.

Since 2007, the Arts Festival has showcased artists and storytellers who amplify LGBTQ+ voices and experiences. All events are free to attend. Sign up here to join the WeHo Pride Arts Festival mailing list to get updates and alerts.

The Arts Festival is organized as a curated schedule of performances, screenings, readings, and exhibitions presented throughout the day.

Guests may attend theatre, cabaret, mariachi, literary readings, film programming, and live model drawing sessions, while also exploring artist vendors and the visual art exhibit. Each day concludes with a signature extended program.

All events are free to attend, though some programs require a ticket or reservation. Even without a ticket, there is plenty to explore and enjoy throughout the festival.

Ticket holders will get priority admission; seats are released to the standby line 10 minutes before showtime.

Public transportation and rideshare are strongly recommended. A free extension of the City Line/PickUp Line will also provide service to the festival, with a stop located just north of the venue.

Limited parking is available in the Los Angeles LGBT Center parking garage at 1118 N. McCadden Place. If you plan to park on nearby streets, please read posted signs carefully.

The Arts Festival offers hands-on workshops where you can be both an attendee and artist. Past highlights include improv with Jen Cheng and live model drawing.
