The 46th Annual Houston LGBT+ Pride Festival and Parade will potentially bring out hundreds of thousands on Saturday to celebrate Pride Month.
Pride Month is recognized every year in commemoration of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York, which involved police raiding the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. The raid provoked six days of protests that have since been credited for shifting LGBTQ+ activism in the U.S.
Pride Houston 365, an LGBTQ+ organization based in Houston, credited for organizing the parade for nearly half a century, said the celebration will take place on June 29 in downtown Houston.
Here is what attendees will need to know ahead of the pride parade in Houston this year.

The Houston LGBT+ Pride Festival begins Saturday, June 29 at noon CT. The parade pre-show will be at 6 p.m., while the actual parade will take place at 7:15 p.m.
The celebration, which Pride Houston 365 says averages more than 850,000 attendees per year, will be headlined by singers K. Michelle, David Archuleta, Brooke Eden and celebrity trainer and artist, Kayla G. Muffy Vanderbilt, who appeared on "RuPaul's Drag Race," will host the parade.
What is the Houston LGBT+ Pride Parade route?
The Houston LGBT+ Pride Parade will begin at Bagby Street and Lamar Street and continue up Smith Street to Walker Street, where it will make a right turn and run along Walker to Milam Street and continue down Milam to Pease Street.
