AIDS Walk Los Angeles Returns To West Hollywood This October

AIDS Walk Los Angeles returns to West Hollywood Park on Sunday, October 12, 2025. The event invites Angelenos to come together this October for a day of solidarity, awareness, entertainment, and fundraising in support of critical HIV/AIDS services throughout L.A. County. This year’s theme, “Community Is the Cure,” underscores the vital role of unity in advancing progress against HIV/AIDS and strengthening support for those affected. The walk is supported by APLA Health, the leading nonprofit providing HIV care, prevention, and sexual health services. “This event was born out of urgency, and it’s just as relevant today,” said Craig E. Thompson, CEO of APLA Health. “We’ve made incredible progress in the fight against HIV, but that progress is under direct threat from funding cuts and political attacks. Now is the time to show that we won’t be silenced or set back.” What happens at AIDS Walk LA? ----------------------------- Walk Day kicks off with lively festivities in West Hollywood Park, where participants will enjoy an electrifying performance by RuPaul’s Drag Race star Heidi N Closet, high-energy DJ sets, interactive community booths, and a variety of engaging activities that set the tone for the day. The morning celebration builds excitement and a sense of togetherness before walkers step off from the park and take to the streets of West Hollywood, creating a powerful procession of solidarity, visibility, and support for those impacted by HIV/AIDS. Why is AIDS Walk LA important? ------------------------------ Since its launch forty years ago as the first-ever AIDS Walk in Los Angeles, AIDS Walk Los Angeles has grown into one of the world’s largest HIV/AIDS fundraising events, uniting thousands and raising nearly $100 million to fight the epidemic. Proceeds from the walk directly fund APLA Health’s wide-ranging services, including HIV specialty care, sexual health services, food and nutrition support, housing assistance, and more.
