Introducing TCH Screening Club, a new program at The Chapter House bringing our community together through the magic of movies.

💕 Love is in the rez! This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we’re gathering the girls, the gays, and our beloved allies for a special TCH Screening Club featuring REZervations for Two—the hilarious, heartfelt, and delightfully chaotic Indigenous dating show where singles from across Turtle Island go on blind dates in search of a little romance, connection, and maybe their forever snag. Because…What better way to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day than with a little NDN romance? 💕

Join us for a special installment of TCH Screening Club. Come watch with community, root for the hopeful romantics, and enjoy an evening celebrating Indigenous joy, representation, and, of course, a little dating-show drama. Hosted by Deesco, as we watch the first three episodes together! Bring your dinner, get cozy, and come RELAX with community while we root for our faves, yell at the screen, and celebrate Indigenous joy, romance, and representation. And if you need to catch up before we gather, you can stream REZervations for Two on APTN+, or watch the first episode for free on YouTube.

About R42: Hosted by Indigenous creators and besties Kairyn Potts and Scott Wabano, the duo bring fashion, humor, dating advice, and plenty of unfiltered commentary as they send daters out on two blind dates and react to all the awkward silences, flirty moments, surprising connections, and spicy pickup lines along the way. The first season takes us to Winnipeg, with dates unfolding around The Forks, a place of gathering and connection for thousands of years.

Join Emma Robbins, artist, activist, community organizer, and founder of The Chapter House, as well as Amanda Sroka, ICA LA Senior Curator, for a walkthrough of Speaking in Tongues, an exhibition featuring an intergenerational and international group of contemporary artists who embrace the role of art as a conduit to the spiritual. Exploring and expanding notions of the sacred and the divine, the presentation includes both new and pre-existing works by artists engaging with embodied and ecstatic forms of expression, ritual, and translation. A new commission within the exhibition is a score titled Codetalker (2026) by Raven Chacon and Candice Hopkins, the audio for which is playing daily at TCH. At a moment when religion is increasingly weaponized as an instrument to divide, Speaking in Tongues celebrates the spiritual as a tool for survival, kinship, and communion—centering the work of Indigenous and diasporic artists from the Global South to trace shared connections across geographies, cultures, and time.

Join our Friends of the LA River as they celebrate their fifth annual RiverFest. Come learn about the LA River and be in community. Friends of the LA River brings together people of all ages and backgrounds to learn about the LA River through community work and celebration.

Join us for a morning of making, storytelling, and community at The Chapter House. The program begins with a beading workshop designed by Kimberly Robertson (Mvskoke), facilitated by The Chapter House. As participants settle into their beadwork, the workshop will transition into a conversation between Emma Robbins and Nizhoni Begay, inspired by The Chapter House’s Give an Elder a Mic format.

Together, Emma and Nizhoni will reflect on creativity, community, advocacy, and the stories that shape their work, inviting attendees to continue beading throughout the discussion. Like many Indigenous art practices, beadwork offers space for conversation, reflection, and connection. Knowledge is shared as much through our hands as through our words. Whether you’re new to beading or have been practicing for years, this gathering offers an opportunity to create alongside community while listening, learning, and engaging in meaningful dialogue.

Join us at the Indigeprov Closing Show. Students from the class will perform along with an Improv Jam where anyone can get on stage and play. This show is open to the public.

We recommend a $5 donation for this show.

Join us on Sunday, July 19 at 1:30 PM for a special screening of Remaining Native at Vidiots as part of The Popcorn List: Pop Up Series!

Directed by Paige Bethmann, Remaining Native follows Kutoven (Ku) Stevens, a 17-year-old Native runner pursuing his dream of competing at the collegiate level while uncovering the legacy of his great-grandfather's escape from an Indian boarding school. This powerful coming-of-age documentary weaves together past, present, and future, exploring resilience, identity, and what it means to carry history forward.

Following the screening, stay for a conversation with Eric F. Martin, one of the film's editors, for a behind-the-scenes look at bringing this remarkable story to the screen.

We hope you'll join us in supporting Indigenous storytelling and celebrating one of this year's most acclaimed Native films.

The LA Pride Parade is the oldest and most iconic Pride parade in SoCal. Now in its 56th year, we’ll be on Hollywood Blvd with another massive showing of community, celebration, and PRIDE!

This year’s Grand Marshals are very special and dear to us.

Celebrity Grand Marshal, JEFF HILLER is an Emmy-winning actor and comedian, honored in 2025 with the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy for his portrayal as “Joel” on HBO’s acclaimed series, Somebody Somewhere. In addition to publishing his memoir, Actress of a Certain Age, (a must-read!) he guest-starred opposite Rhea Seehorn on this season of Pluribus for Apple TV+. Jeff recently sold a pilot to Universal Cable Productions, and is developing a project with Zachary Quinto, so we’ll be seeing more of Jeff soon and we can’t wait!

Community Grand Marshal, MIA YAMAMOTO is a transgender, LA-based LGBTQ+ civil rights activist and criminal defense attorney. Born in a Japanese-American internment camp during World War II, Mia rose above to attend Cal State, and serve in the U.S. Army, where she was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, and Vietnam Campaign and Service Medals. Lauded by her peers with numerous awards and accolades, Mia also received the Rainbow Key Award from the City of West Hollywood, and the Harvey Milk Legacy Award, by LA Pride in 2012.

Legacy Grand Marshal, SHIRLEY RAINES passed away in 2025 and is being honored posthumously for her work as a humanitarian, activist, and the Founder of Beauty 2 the Streetz. A transformative figure in the Skid Row community where she was affectionately known as “Ms. Shirley,” Raines redefined street outreach by championing beauty and self-care as a fundamental human right. Ms. Shirley received the 2025 NAACP Image Award for leveraging her powerful social media presence to humanize and amplify the voices of Skid Row.

TIME: The Parade starts at 11AM, and takes about three hours, from start to finish.

ROUTE: The Parade steps off at Sunset at Highland, travels north to Hollywood Blvd, then heads east on Hollywood Blvd, and then turns south onto Cahuenga. The Parade ends at Cahuenga at Sunset. ABC7/KABC will broadcast the parade, live, with their hosts stationed at Hollywood High School on Highland.

VIEWING: There are no bad spots to watch the Parade! If you don’t like crowds, the most congested areas to avoid are the corners of Hollywood & Highland, and Hollywood & Cahuenga.

SPEAKING OF CROWDS: The LA Pride Parade is themost attended Pride Parade in the region by almost 100%. Thank you, LA! As a First Amendment event that’s free to the public and welcomes all ages, you can expect a large turn out. Please be kind, patient and sweet to those around you. Pride is about community and good vibes!

We do not recommend bringing pets to the Parade- it can be extremely crowded, and June temperatures can make the streets very hot.

STREET CLOSURES: The final street plan will be published soon. Watch this space for more information as it becomes available.

GETTING TO THE PARADE: LA Metro is the Official Transit Partner of LA Pride!

The Hollywood/Highland spot is going to get a Pride makeover and renamed Hollywood & Prideland, and is an obvious choice for your arrival since it’s literally on the parade route. Also, the Hollywood/Vine, aka Hollywood & Pride, is a good choice.

Visit LA Metro to plan your trip to Pride.

PARKING: If you plan to drive, we recommend booking convenient and affordable parking in advance through SpotHero, the nation’s leading parking reservations app.

To reserve your parking spot for the LA Pride Parade, visit the LA Pride SpotHero Parking Page.

WATCH FROM HOME: If you’d rather celebrate Pride from your couch, the Parade is broadcast live, from 11AM – 1PM on ABC7/KABC, our longtime Official Television & Streaming Partner, and streamed on HULU. ABC7 also produces a wonderful pre-show with color commentary and a performance, making the LA Pride Parade is the most-watched Pride telecast in SoCal!
