Sponsoring South LA Pride isn’t just about slapping your logo on a banner—it’s about showing up for a community that’s too often overlooked and underfunded. It’s about putting your values into action and backing a celebration that centers Black and Brown LGBTQ+ joy, resilience, and culture. When you sponsor South LA Pride, you’re investing in more than an event—you’re investing in visibility, equity, and real community impact. And trust—our people notice who shows up.
And don’t let the name fool you—while we proudly rep South Los Angeles, our reach goes far beyond. South LA Pride draws attendees from across the entire county: from Inglewood to the Valley, Long Beach to Pasadena, and everywhere in between. Because when you create a space that centers Black and Brown LGBTQ+ joy, people show up—no matter where they’re from.
THIS AIN’T JUST BRANDING…IT’S BELONGING

ENGAGE. ELEVATE. EMPOWER
Title Sponsorship
As the Title Sponsor of South LA Pride, your brand isn’t just part of the celebration—it’s leading it. From pre-event promos to on-site visibility and stage shoutouts, your name will be front and center across every major touchpoint. This is your chance to align with a movement rooted in culture, community, and unapologetic joy.
Claim your spotlight. Set the tone. Own the moment.
Picnic Activation
Think curated seating, blankets, shade, and vibes—perfect for casual engagement, giveaways, product sampling, or just giving folks a spot to kick back with community. It’s a laid-back, high-visibility way to show up and show love—South LA style.
FOOD TRUCK COURT
The Food Truck Court is where flavors meet foot traffic—and it stays busy. Sponsor this high-traffic zone and get prime visibility among hungry, happy Pride-goers. From tacos to soul food to vegan bites, this is where folks gather, vibe, and refuel. Your brand can be front and center—on signage, napkins, and more. Feed the people. Fuel the moment. Be part of the flavor.
Community Softball Game with GLSA
In partnership with the Greater Los Angeles Softball Association (GLSA), this game brings the heat—and the heart. LGBTQ+ athletes, allies, and community members step up to the plate for a day of camaraderie, laughs, and a little competitive edge. Sponsoring this event means backing teamwork, inclusion, and real community connection—on and off the field. Where the gloves come off (playfully) and the pride runs deep.
Main Stage
The heart of South LA Pride beats loud and proud at the Main Stage. It’s where LGBTQ+ artists, DJs, dancers, and performers light up the crowd and keep the energy high all day long. Sponsoring the Main Stage puts your brand in the spotlight—literally—alongside the talent that makes this celebration unforgettable. Big vibes. Bold artists. Maximum visibility.
KID’S ZONE
Joy starts young—and so does brand loyalty. The South LA Pride Kid Zone is where families gather for crafts, games, storytelling, and fun that’s safe, affirming, and culturally rooted. Sponsoring this space means showing up for LGBTQ+ parents, caregivers, and the next generation with real community support. Colorful, playful, and full of heart—just like the families you’ll reach.
Vendor Village
The Vendor Village is the heartbeat of South LA Pride—where local businesses, artisans, and community orgs connect directly with the people. It’s where you’ll find everything from handmade goods to health resources, fashion to food. Sponsoring this space means supporting small business, culture, and commerce in a way that’s grounded in community. High foot traffic. Real conversations. Authentic impact.
OUTSIDE KIKI BALL
If South LA Pride had a heartbeat, it would be the Outside Kiki Ball. This is the moment—where the crowd gathers, the cameras come out, and the energy hits a whole new level. Ballroom culture takes over with runway, realness, and pure unapologetic expression. Sponsoring the Kiki Ball puts your brand at the center of the spectacle, the artistry, and the cultural brilliance that defines South LA Pride. This isn’t just a performance. It’s the performance.
