A Legacy of Activism

Every June, the streets of San Francisco come alive with color, music, and an overwhelming sense of joy as the city hosts one of the largest and most iconic LGBTQ+ Pride celebrations in the world. San Francisco Pride is more than just a parade—it’s a powerful statement of visibility, resilience, and community.

San Francisco has long been a beacon of LGBTQ+ rights, dating back to the days of Harvey Milk, one of the first openly gay elected officials in the U.S. The city played a pivotal role in the fight for equality, from the early gay liberation movement to the battle against the HIV/AIDS crisis and the push for marriage equality. Pride in San Francisco is a continuation of this legacy, honoring those who fought for the freedoms the LGBTQ+ community enjoys today while recognizing the work that still needs to be done.

The Pride Parade & Festival

The highlight of the celebration is the Pride Parade, which takes place along Market Street, drawing hundreds of thousands of spectators and participants. With dazzling floats, drag queens, corporate allies, community organizations, and politicians marching in solidarity, the parade is a powerful expression of both joy and activism.

Beyond the parade, the two-day Pride Festival at Civic Center Plaza offers live performances, speeches from activists, and a chance to connect with organizations supporting LGBTQ+ rights. From pop stars to grassroots movements, the festival represents the diversity of the community in every form.

The Spirit of Inclusion

What sets San Francisco Pride apart is its deep commitment to inclusion. The event celebrates every letter of the LGBTQ+ spectrum, ensuring that voices from all backgrounds, including BIPOC and transgender communities, are heard and uplifted. Whether you identify as LGBTQ+ or are an ally, the welcoming spirit of Pride invites everyone to take part.
