Celebrate our LGBTQ+ community at the Aquarium!

2024_pride_night_(1120_×_840_px).jpg

In partnership with The LGBTQ Center Long Beach, join the Aquarium of the Pacific in celebrating our LGBTQ+ community during Pride Month.

Enjoy a fun evening with your favorite animals and colorful fishes. This all-ages event will also include rainbow-themed activities and drag queen storytelling. Drag queen storytelling is a family-friendly activity where a drag queen reads a children’s book story with the aim of inspiring and celebrating inclusivity.

Pride Night is a celebration of local communities. During Pride Night, the Aquarium will be honoring an individual or organization for outstanding community service and promoting diversity, awareness, and acceptance. The Aquarium extends a warm welcome to all and envisions this event as an opportunity for people to come together, appreciate one another, and collaborate in protecting our ocean planet.

Programming

  • Enjoy a children’s book story read aloud by Pickle the Drag Queen
  • Snap a photo with an Aquarium mascot dressed in rainbow flair
  • Swing by for a rainbow-filled Meet and Greet with The Pacific Pals
  • Dance to music of our DJs spinning at Honda Blue Cavern and outside in Shark Lagoon
  • Take in traditional Mexican music from Mariachi Arcoiris, the world’s first LGBTQ+ mariachi
