  The LGBTQIA+ community is one of the most vibrant and resilient groups of people made up of changemakers, barrier-breakers, and culture shifters. Contributions from the LGBTQIA+ community are immeasurable, and our lives deserve to be celebrated. We are calling out to all of our rainbow family and allies to show up, show out, and get their lives on July 15th at our parade, celebration, and after party! 

  The Parade on Saturday, July 15 will begin at 11:00 a.m. on Polk Street and will continue on toward Pearl Street, and down Alvarado Street. It will culminate at Custom House Plaza for the Celebration portion at noon. Bring the whole family to shop and eat from a variety of local vendors. Enjoy a lineup of queer entertainers, including our endlessly talented emcees Rogue Roulette and Khloe QuarterPounder. We can’t wait to see you there! Keep the good vibes alive and meet us at Pearl Hour for the After Party with more drag entertainment!

  Can’t get enough? Join us on Sunday, July 16 at Paper Wing Theatre for a satisfying drag brunch! Then head to CSUMB for our annual Rainbow Panel Discussion where we will dive into the trials and tribulations our community faces, while learning from local LGBTQIA+ leaders.
