Headlined by Maren Morris, the evening also features performances by Qveen Herby, Jamie Fine, and others. While RSVP registration has closed, additional information is available at outloudmusicfestival.com.

Saturday brings a full slate of events, starting at noon with the WeHo Pride Street Fair, featuring vendors, community booths, and two performance stages—Rainbow and Celebration—along Santa Monica Boulevard between La Peer Drive and Hancock Avenue.
