The festival includes more than 50 LGBT-serving organizations, over 100 artists across four stages, and draws 40,000 attendees.
The 2018 festival takes place Saturday, July 14 through Sunday, July 15 at Marston Point in Balboa Park. The San Diego Pride Festival, for example, typically occurs in July. While most Pride events take place in June, some cities hold their celebrations at other times. Today, celebrations include colorful pride parades, workshops, symposia and other events that attract millions across the globe. Pride Month is celebrated each June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Riots in Manhattan, a catalyst for the gay rights movement in the United States. June is Pride Month, when Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) communities, and others who feel like their sexual identity falls outside the mainstream, celebrate the freedom to be who they are.
San Diego Pride, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, raises funds primarily through festival ticket sales to support San Diego Pride’s community philanthropy.
