San Diego Pride 2026 California

Info

San Diego Pride takes place from the 18th to 19th July 2026.

Formed in 1974 as a sponsored program of The Centre for Social Services, we produced the first Lesbian and Gay Parade in San Diego to celebrate the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion on New York’s Christopher Street. San Diego Pride incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organisation in 1994, and today it continues to bring together the skills, talents, and visions of our diverse community through numerous programs. The San Diego Pride Festival is host to a variety of local and national organisations. Businesses, and entertainers eager to show their support for our community. If you’d like to be part of the action, learn more below.
