Widely-regarded as the gay capital of the USA, the vibrant Californian city of San Francisco has long been home to a thriving LBGTQ+ scene, and every summer plays host to one of the largest and most renowned Pride parades on earth.
Every year, on the last weekend of June, San Francisco Pride takes over the heart of the city, with the iconic Civic Center Plaza playing host to two days of concerts, cabaret, exhibitions, talks, and much more, whilst the parade itself, which is held on Sunday and attracts over 1 million attendees, features over 200 floats and contingents - including the world-famous 400 plus strong Dykes on Bikes motorcycle group!
27-28 June 2021.
