Every year in June, people come together to celebrate Pride Month to support and promote a greater understanding of the LGBTQIA+ community. This year, The Podium embraces the spirit of Pride with colorful installations, pop-ups, and promotions throughout the month to celebrate diversity, equality, and inclusivity.
“Walk with Pride” and stride in solidarity with the community on the rainbow-colored lane outside the mall’s entrance along Julia Vargas Avenue.

These installations also serve as a colorful backdrop for your Instagram or Tiktok posts to show and amplify your support for the LGBTQIA+ community. Snap some photos, have fun, and share your true colors.
