Las Vegas PRIDE Night Parade Returns to Downtown with Star-Studded Lineup of Grand Marshals
Las Vegas, NV – August 29, 2025 – The glittering lights of Downtown Las Vegas will shine brighter than ever on Friday, October 10, 2025, as the Las Vegas PRIDE Night Parade takes over 4th Street with dazzling floats, vibrant performances, and a powerful display of unity and pride.
The parade will begin at 7:00 PM at 4th Street and Clark Avenue, continuing north to Ogden Avenue. Thousands of spectators are expected to line the route, celebrating Southern Nevada’s LGBTQ+ community and allies in one of the most iconic nighttime parades in the nation.
This year’s celebration will be led by an extraordinary trio of Grand Marshals, each representing resilience, artistry, and community impact:
- Lauren Weedman – Celebrity Grand Marshal
Acclaimed actress, comedian, playwright, and author Lauren Weedman has entertained audiences with her fearless humor and scene-stealing roles on The Daily Show, HBO’s Looking, and Hacks. Known for her razor-sharp wit and devotion to storytelling, Weedman brings her infectious energy to the PRIDE stage, embodying the joy and solidarity of the LGBTQ+ community. - Jimmy Emerson – Local Celebrity Grand Marshal
Beloved Las Vegas entertainer Jimmy Emerson has dazzled audiences for decades as an actor, comedian, female impersonator, and producer. From his iconic performances in An Evening at La Cage to his unforgettable character Tammy Spraynette, Emerson has built a career on laughter, resilience, and authenticity. Honored as “MC of the Year” in 2018, he continues to shine as one of Las Vegas’ brightest comedic talents. - The Sin Sity Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence – Community Grand Marshals
For over 20 years, the Sin Sity Sisters have served Southern Nevada through activism, outreach, and irreverent joy. Their work—most notably through the Sisters AIDS Drug Assistance Program (SADAP)—has provided life-saving support to those impacted by HIV/AIDS. As they prepare to host the 2025 International Conclave of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, their role as Community Grand Marshals celebrates both local impact and global solidarity.
Parade Experience & Entertainment
The evening begins with a pre-show at the grandstand located at 4th Street and Bridger Avenue, hosted by Abel Garcia (KTNV 13 Action News), Andrew Ryan, and Brady McGill (Las Vegas PRIDE President). Guests will enjoy live entertainment, beverage stations, and conveniently located portable restrooms.
A second announcement stage will be located at 4th Street and Fremont Street, where Norma Llyaman (Mrs. Las Vegas PRIDE 2024–25) and Derek Guerrero (Mr. Las Vegas PRIDE 2024–25) will emcee the parade from a mobile stage, adding their own flair to the celebration.
