Oak Lawn · Cedar Springs · Dallas
Oak Lawn is the historic LGBTQ+ neighborhood of Dallas, anchored by Cedar Springs Road, the Strip. Here is how to get here, what to expect, and where to stay within walking distance of the parade route.
DART · Rideshare · Bike
The best rail options are Parkland Hospital Station (Orange & Green lines) and Cityplace Station (Orange, Red & Blue lines). Both connect to the Strip on the 23 bus. Market Center Station (Orange & Green) is the closest station, but it leaves you a 1.1 mile walk and has no bus access to the Strip.
The 23 bus is rerouted along Lemmon Avenue during the street closures for the event. Check DART GoPass the morning of for live stop changes.
Cedar Springs Blvd and adjacent streets close for the parade. A road closure map with exact times will be posted here before Pride Week.
Uber, Lyft, Alto, Waymo, and Cybercab all serve Oak Lawn, along with Lime and Bird scooters. All of these use designated pickup and drop-off points on parade day — those locations will be posted here closer to the event.
BCycle stations throughout Uptown and Oak Lawn, and free bike parking in designated lots on parade day. Scooters are covered under Rideshare, since they share the same parade-day drop-off points.
