Los Angeles / Valley Pride is a GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender) Pride event held in October in Studio City, California. Founded in 2000, Los Angeles / Valley Pride (LA/Valley Pride) (LAVP) is a gay pride festival held at the famed CBS Studio Center (the former Republic Studios) in Studio City, CA, USA. It is one of a growing number of Pride events that stresses public awareness of gay people and their contributions to society. Because it is located in the "bedroom community" of Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, LAVP emphasizes connecting the LGBT community with the larger community. It also seeks to connect the larger community's groups with the GLBT community.
