Pride events

Students can also get involved with Pride Month through attending Pride events. Pride festivals and parades, open to everyone, are a fun way to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and meet new people.

The festivals allow students to engage in pride-related activities by partying, dancing and having fun. There is no dress code, but many people wear bright, rainbow-colored garments reminiscent of the LGBTQ+ rainbow flag.

There are many Pride events to look out for in the Bay Area, including at Gunn. Hosted by the Student Executive Council
every year, Pride celebrations take place in late May. Among the festivities are student performances, the Pride Fair and Gender Sexuality Alliance events.

Pride Month events in the Bay Area include the Civic Center Celebration at the public plaza in front of San Francisco City Hall, and the San Francisco Pride Parade on June 26, a march from Market Street to City Hall that will include performances. The Filoli Historic House and Garden is also hosting two days of pride festivities on June 3 and 4. The event will offer food and drinks for purchase and photo opportunities with the decorated garden.

Some events may not be appropriate for teenagers, so check individual events’ websites for more information on age restrictions.
