Families with Pride 2024

The third-annual Families with Pride citywide celebration, originally scheduled for June, has been rescheduled to take place on Saturday, October 26, 2024, to align with LGBTQIA+ History Month. This family-friendly event, led by Council Member Abbie Kamin in partnership with the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce and Discovery Green®, celebrates the rich history and contributions of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Taking place from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., Families with Pride offers an inclusive environment to support and celebrate LGBTQIA+ children, families, and allies.

The festival will feature engaging activities for all ages, including live entertainment, art projects, Pride Storytime with the Houston Public Library, and the popular Curiosity Cruiser. Attendees can enjoy food trucks, face painting, a photo booth, yard games, and more. The event will also feature the LGBTQ+ History Tent in partnership with The Banner Project, University of Houston Library Archives, and Rice University, where guests can explore the immersive History of Pride.

For our furry friends, the Proud Puppy Pawty will kick off at 9:00 a.m. at the Discovery Green Dog Run, with prizes awarded for the most creative pet costumes.
