Massachusetts Youth Pride

A Pride Just for YOU(th):

Massachusetts Youth Pride is the oldest youth-led, adult-supported LGBTQ Youth Pride celebration in the country! Join us on May 17th, 2025 for our annual Pride celebration, featuring a march, festival, community partner resource fair, and a live stage show produced by LGBTQ+ youth!

Registration is now available for our march - you can sign up to march by yourself, with friends & chosen family, or choose a group registration to march with your GSA or school group! Just interested in attending the festival (and opting out of the march)? No problem? You can skip registration and join us for the festival at City Hall Plaza, starting at 11am!

ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS:

For nearly 50 years, BAGLY (Boston Alliance for LGBTQ+ Youth) has been a youth-led, adult-supported organization committed to social justice, and creating, sustaining and advocating for programs, policies and services for the LGBTQ+ youth community in Massachusetts.

At our core we are here to support queer and trans youth to become happy and healthy adults. We're proud to offer three innovative programs and thousands of events, activities, and opportunities every year for thousands of LGBTQ+ youth as they take care, take agency, and take action.

Turn Your March Into A Match!

MYP is partnering with Positive Tracks this year! Positive Tracks works with young adults 12-25 to use movement/physical activity to create change. Rally your community to join you at the March, design posters, create chants or fundraise.
