Pride Houston Parade

Play in the Southwest's largest GLBT Pride Parade and Festival, feature in the historic Montrose neighborhood of Houston, Texas. This annual celebration features 3 stages offering live music all day and night in front of over 100,000 fans. Pride Houston will fill up to 20 slots with artists who submit online through Sonicbids.
