The city of Beverly Hills’ Community Services Department, in partnership with the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, the city’s Arts and Culture and Human Relation Commissions and Next Beverly Hills Committee, will be launching its first outdoor Pride celebration in honor of the LGBTQIA+ community with a number of signature events during June as part of Pride Month.

City Hall will be lit up with “Happy Beverly Hills Pride.” and the 14 iconic palm trees flanking City Hall will be decorated with twinkling lights.

Beverly Hills Pride Night will kick off with a special outdoor event featuring live entertainment at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on Thursday, June 2, at 7 p.m.

The event will be hosted by musi­cian Tolliver and KCRW host Novena Carmel. With the theme of “celebrating diverse families and community,” the show features a roster of leading LGBTQIA+ per­formers including San Cha, Bri Giger, Theytee, Jeshua, Miss Barbie Q, Zee Machine and Polartropica.

Beverly Hills Pride at Greystone Mansion: Gina Young’s SORORI­TY Salon will be held on Wednesday, June 8, from 6-9 p.m. Tickets are $15 with advance regis­tration for Beverly Hills residents.

Celebrating the rich history of Beverly Hills and 1920s art salons, theater director Young and musician Vanessa Wheeler will reimagine the newly restored Greystone Theatre for this special one-night only event. Founded in 2016, SORORI­TY is the Los Angeles hub for new short works by female-identified performers (women, trans and queer) spanning artforms from the­atre, music, dance and more. SORORITY Salon will feature Jul Wiggins and Casey Shea, Cameron Esposito, Celisse, Kamala Pugliganda, Chani Nicholas, VAVÁ, Maija Knapp and Sundeep Morrison.

“The city of Beverly Hills has been home to many important LGBTQIA+ citizens since the city’s early days including prominent artists, celebrities, activists, authors, choreographers, composers, actors and allies,” Jenny Rogers, director of community services, said. “I am excited that Beverly Hills will be celebrating these incredible individ­uals who helped define arts, culture and creative industries that make Beverly Hills a world-class destina­tion.”
