About Us

Sacramento Pride Weekend events are produced by the Sacramento LGBT Community Center. Our mission is to create a region where LGBTQ+ people thrive. We work to support the health and wellness of the most marginalized, advocate for equity and justice, and building a culturally rich LGBTQ+ community.

History

Many people are familiar with the police raid at the Stonewall Inn in 1969 credited with igniting a revolution for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+)  equality. Transgender women, queer folks, and drag queens fought back against the pervasive harassment and abuse they endured on a daily basis living in the Village of New York City.

Pride Team

It takes a diverse group of professional staff and extraordinary volunteer leaders to produce the Sacramento Pride March and Festival. Our intention as we exit the COVID-19 pandemic after two years of dormancy is to work toward re-building a community driven Pride committee that reflects the diversity of the community and provides advice, expertise, and logistical management assistance in the production of all Pride events for the entire community’s benefit.

Covid-19 Safety

An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public space where people gather, and you understand that no precautions can eliminate the risk of exposure. By attending Sacramento Pride events, you expressly agree to comply with any rules and safety guidelines put in place by the event organizers and voluntarily assume all risks and liability related to exposure to COVID-19, which may include severe illness and death.
