Star View Children & Family Services hosted the first ever Compton PRIDE Festival in the City of Compton on Saturday, July 6, 2019 from noon to 8 p.m. The festival was the first PRIDE event in South Los Angeles, an area with limited resources for LGBTQIA. The family-friendly event was free to the public and took place on the Compton College campus.

Bre-Z from the CW television show, All-American headlined the festival along with performances by DJ T-La Storm, Britt J from American Idol, LaMarr Lubin from DRS, Atlanta-based rapper Reign DB, and many more. The PRIDE Festival was hosted by TV personality and singer, James Wright.

The festival was in commemoration of the 50^th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots—an incident that sparked LGBTQIA political activism, leading to the formation of numerous gay rights organizations.
