The 34th Austin Pride Parade is planned for Saturday, Aug. 10, starting at 8 p.m. with the theme “Queer Cabaret,” which the city describes as “full of glamor and glitz, celebrating and honoring LGBTQ+ members of our greater Austin community.” It will start at the Texas Capitol building and proceed south down Congress Avenue, ending at the Ann Richards bridge at Cesar Chavez Street. For more details, visit the city’s website or austinpride.org/pride-2024. Making plans for a safe ride home is recommended, either through public transportation, ride sharing or carpooling. Other options include:
- Parking south of downtown and use the Hike-and-Bike Trail (motorized vehicles are not permitted on the trail).
- Biking to the event.
- Using the CapMetro trip planner to find the best transit option into downtown.
- If driving, visit the Paid Parking page for downtown parking information.
Road closures and/or lane reductions associated with the Pride Parade will start at 1 p.m. Aug. 10, with all streets scheduled to reopen no later than midnight. Click here for a detailed road closure map and table of closed streets.
