An LGBTQ+ Pride Parade is going on. There will be parade floats, LGBTQ+ organization banners, costumed participants and music. Rainbow flags decorate the streets, and LGBTQ+-friendly restaurants and cafes show their support with signs and posters. Maybe the Pride Parade has little or nothing to do with the plot, being there simply there to spice up the background of whatever the protagonists are doing (any show with a Cast Full of Gay is bound to do a Pride episode at least once).
...or maybe it's a major part of the episode. For example, one of the major characters could be helping organizing the whole thing or organize protests against it, or the presence of the Pride Parade could be the backdrop for a character's Coming-Out Story, or there could be heated debates on what minorities and organizations should and shouldn't be included in the parade. Hilarity may very well ensue if one or both sides resort to Activist-Fundamentalist Antics.
The parade may be portrayed as a standalone event, or be given context as a part of a larger festival. In the later case, it often includes tie-in events at the gay bars around the city, concerts, films, and seminars on issues important to the LGBTQ+ community. There may be contests for the best bear (big strong gay men with a Carpet of Virility), drag performers, and members of the BDSM community.
In Real Life, in most cities, Pride takes place in the month of June as that is when the Stonewall riots occurred. But some locations have it earlier or later in the year if the weather in June isn't friendly to a large outdoor event. In the United States, for example, a few Southern and western cities hold Pride in October since the heat isn't so oppressive, and to commemorate National Coming Out Day on the 11th.
Within the LGBTQ+ community, while Pride is generally viewed as an important community event, some have expressed concerns about how major cities' parades are getting less like grassroots community-run events, including diverse expressions of identity and activists sharing political messages with signs, and getting more shiny, commercialized and commodified. In some major cities, Pride parades have a heavy presence of MegaCorp advertising banners and LGBTQ+ members say there seems to be a goal of making money from the community and selling Pride-themed merchandise, or selling expensive tickets that exclude lower-income participants. The 2020s, in light of aggressive legislation against trans people and non-binary people, has seen some cities take Pride back to its more community-oriented political roots.
Compare Sex Is Good, Ethical Slut and Brains and Bondage. Contrast (or compare, depending on the tone of the work) Sex Is Evil, Depraved Homosexual, Bondage Is Bad, Straw Loser and Internalized Categorism.

Gilmore Girls A Year in the Life has Stars Hollow planning and cancelling their first pride parade. While the town is willing to host one, it turns out only one person signed up to actually be in it (and he was just planning of walking with his dog).

The last episode of season 13 in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia involves the gang trying to exploit Mac's homosexuality for free publicity at the city's pride parade; the main plot, however, follows Mac trying to find a place for himself in the gay community, and express his complicated feelings around his sexuality.

The Turner Diaries feature Pride Parades and make a note of how they are getting more inclusive over time, now extending to include fetishists and such. The book is obviously extreme fascist propaganda with the narrative role of the Pride Parade being used to justify antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia and enbyphobia.

The Simpsons:
An LGBTQ pride parade goes through town in "Jaws Wired Shut".
There was also a float dedicated to those still in the closet.
Attentive viewers will know that it was Smithers and Marge's sister Patty.
Then after watching this display, Marge asks Homer "Wouldn't it be nice if that man and that woman got married to each other?"
When there was a bear "attack" in Springfield, Homer led an angry mob to the mayor's office with this chant:
This was also discussed in the "Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy" episode, where the family were pointing out other incidents of Lisa making the rest of them take part of her beliefs and stances, including a gay pride parade. A newspaper article includes a picture of the event which features same-sex couples in the background holding hands and marching while a very confused looking Bart stands in the foreground staring at the camera.

Bitchy Butch tends to hate the parades because they are inclusive. (She's a bitter and hateful lesbian who resents bisexuals, trans people, men - including gay men, lesbians who don't hate men, and so on. All Played for Laughs.) And yet, even she grows to reluctantly enjoy them.

Several Chick Tracts feature Pride Parades, portraying them as unholy armies of Satan laying siege to the world. The portrayal often use a combination of Manly Gay and Bondage Is Bad.
In one of them, there's a guy blocking the parade route, silently holding up a sign quoting a bible verse about homosexuality being an abomination. So a cop comes along and puts him under arrest, which you'd expect to happen in Real Life, since he was blocking the route after all. That's where any semblance of realism ends, however, as Chick's Straw Pro-LGBT Rights People proceed to beat the guy within an inch of his life while the cops, instead of trying to break it up, join in with their nightsticks. And then, after the guy confined to a hospital bed, a judge tells him that he's facing a prison sentence for the "hate crime" he committed. Read it here.

My Fellow Americans has two former presidents trying to escape being killed under the orders of the current president (It Makes Sense in Context) taking cover in a gay pride parade. They aren't trying to get Lost in a Crowd in this case, but rather are trying to be as visible as possible - not even the bad guy in the film would try to have them killed on live television. Becomes a Brick Joke by the end of the film when one of the government agents later refuses to shoot because he's been told these are 'imposters' but sees the gay pride rings one still happens to be carrying and realizes "Those are the Presidents!" The audience doesn't recognize him at first because at the parade, he was cross-dressing as a member of a marching Dorothy band. He tells the Presidents they met "somewhere over the rainbow".

In the South Park episode "South Park is Gay", all the males in town have turned metrosexual. Once the women of the town start getting fed up, the men put on a Metrosexual Pride Parade, which includes the chant, "We're here, we're not queer, but we're close, get used to it!" Then a fire breaks out and the men are to wussy to do anything about it, at the end of the ep all the men are now back to being rednecks again.

In The Atrocity Archive by Charles Stross, Bob mentions that once a year his Camp Gay flatmate Pinky drags his Straight Gay partner out to Pride to maintain his security clearance. Back in the day when being a spy and homosexual were, shall we say, legally incompatible, gays were vulnerable to blackmail ("do this or I tell your boss and you're out of a job"). Nowadays the services just insist on openness, the idea being that you can't be blackmailed if you're not hiding anything.
