It is open to all-gay, straight, whatever-and visitors are encouraged to dress up, have fun, and join the wild and crazy party. In a city that has long embraced alternative lifestyles, the San Francisco Pride weekend is a true celebration of equality, love and expression. The festivities can be way, way over the top-so be prepared and consider how much you want to explain to the children if you're thinking of visiting with them. There are events throughout the month as part of Pride Month, but it all culminates on the final weekend when up to a million visitors-which more than doubles the population of the city-flock to this event, the largest annual LGBTQ gathering in the world.
Loud, raucous and irreverent, the rainbow-hued late-June extravaganza that is the San Francisco Pride Parade & Celebration is the City by the Bay’s celebration of all things LGBTQ.
