San Diego Pride's week-long celebration is one of the largest in the country, with hundreds of thousands of people attending and usually takes place early-mid July. The events that are organized vary, with a women-centered She Fest, a Pride Run, and faith events usually leading up to the Pride Parade and Festival, both of which take place on the last couple of days of SD Pride.
The Parade happens on Saturday, the second to last day of SD Pride, with over 300,000 people attending either in the march or cheering on the sidelines. The Festival, described as the largest summer party in SD, takes place on the Saturday and Sunday of SD Pride. Crowds flock to the four stages set up with live entertainment of all kinds. Meanwhile, local and national organizations provide exhibits, cultural presentations, and community resources. There's something for everyone to enjoy and become a part of.
Pride in San Diego may be overshadowed by the bigger events in Los Angeles and San Francisco, but size doesn't always matter. San Diego Pride is a spectacular event, thanks to the city of San Diego itself. There are people who say San Diego is the most beautiful city in the US, and the crown jewel of the city is Balboa Park, the location of the pride festival every year. Balboa Park is filled with gardens, trails, and cultural sites, and everyone going to this pride festival gets to take a lovely walk in the park.
