Pride celebrations everywhere trace their heritage to the evening of June 28, 1969 when patrons of the Stonewall Inn in New York City said “No more!” to police harassment. That protest has grown to annual events held in major cities throughout the world.
In San Diego, our first rally was held in 1975. San Diego Pride’s Spirit of Stonewall Rally is a time to recognize and honor leaders who are working hard to preserve our gains and meet the many challenges still facing our community.

Pride isn’t canceled; mass gatherings were canceled.
During the course of our day-long event we will take you through the full day of Pride from Parade all the way through the Festival. We will showcase our community organizations, volunteers, leaders, elected officials, businesses, and of course entertainers that make Pride possible every year.
Through everything going on in the world, San Diego Pride’s board, volunteers, staff, and community partners continue to press on, producing more free programming and services than ever before.
2020 has given us a much different world than we’re used to, so we’re going to bring Pride to you in a whole new way!
On what would normally be Pride Parade and Festival Day, July 18, 2020, we will bring you our first-ever PRIDE LIVE: TOGETHER WE RISE.
