Coming Soon - Sacramento Pride

by Collin R Lourenco - He/Him/His

June 10 – 11, 2023, the Sacramento Pride March and Festival will return to Sacramento’s Capitol Mall for a weekend of entertainment, education, and community. The twoday festival brings together 20,000+ community members to celebrate the colorful culture and community of Sacramento’s LGBTQ+ population.

The festival grounds boast three entertainment stages, DJ booths with dance areas, youth and family activities, hundreds of local vendors, food trucks, beverage stations with specialty cocktails as well as non-alcoholic drinks, and a 21+ VIP Lounge. One-day and two-day tickets are available, and are required for entry to the festival.

Sac Pride’s three stages include: the Q-Spot Live youth stage (ages 20 and under), the Stonewall Pavilion community stage, and the central Thunder Valley Pride Stage – all hosted by Sacramento-favorite drag performers. Saturday’s lineup of entertainment will include incredible performances sourced from Sacramento’s creative economy, and conclude with a sunset showcase of the festival’s headlining act: Rebecca Black with opener Bronze Avery.

Sunday morning brings the most anticipated event of the weekend to life, the Sacramento Pride March, a parade beginning at South Side Park (where Sac Pride began!) and concluding at the California State Capitol building and entrance to the festival. Sac Pride March will bring 5,000+ spectators and is free to the public. After the Sac Pride March, return to the festival for a showcase of Drag Entertainers including Mistress Isabelle Brooks, Naomi Smalls, and Plastique Tiara from Rupaul’s Drag Race.

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.
