The Oakland Pride and Pridefest Oakland returns this year on September 8, 2024! This annual event creates a sponsorship of strength and respect while elevating our unified mission to celebrate and support the cultures and diversity of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer+ (LGBTQ+) community in Oakland and the surrounding Bay Area.

Both of these organizations have cemented their sponsorship to provide unified support for each other, the LGBTQ+ community, and Oakland at-large so that every marginalized voice can be heard. The annual Oakland Pride Parade will take place at 11:00 am down Broadway from 14th to 21st and it is free to the public. The Oakland Pridefest and celebration will follow starting at noon - 6:00 pm. Oakland Pride helps create a safe space to come home to. A sanctuary where you are protected, can be all you are without judgment and are embraced by your chosen queer family that is strong in numbers and a fierce force fueled by the Power of Pride.
