A colourful celebration of love.
Taking place from the 24th-25th June, San Francisco Pride is a celebration of the LGBT community and one of the largest gatherings of its kind in America.
Starting off with humble beginnings back in the 1960s, the March is now participated in by over 200 groups and there are over 30 eclectic concerts and events taking place each year. San Francisco is a city famous for having a thriving LGBT community, with the popular Castro District known to be the world’s most prominent gay district. Similarly, the rainbow coloured flag that has been adopted by LGBT communities all over the world was designed by Gilbert Baker in the 1978 San Francisco Pride. A city at the forefront of acceptance and unity, attending San Francisco Pride is a must-see event that promises fun, spectacle and celebration.
