Q: Is there re-entry this year?
A: Due to new restrictions placed on Long Beach Lesbian and Gay Pride by the ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control), City of Long Beach and Long Beach Police Department in order for patrons to continue to be able to move freely about at the festival while enjoying an alcoholic beverage, Long Beach Pride is not allowing re-entry. Given our event is private we are still under ABC jurisdiction and of the options offered by the ABC and LBPD the no-entry decision will have the least impact on our event. While this restriction is new, we are confident that it will not impact your Pride experience. We thank you for your understanding and support. We look forward to creating a meaningful and memorable 2011 Pride together.
