2016 Santa Cruz Pride Parade & Festival

First Sunday in June: Santa Cruz Pride is set to celebrate the old and new in its 42nd year of community gathering!

The Parade will begin at 11 AM and follow Pacific Avenue towards the ocean from the intersection of Church & Pacific. The Parade ends at the Pride Festival Grounds, located where the Wednesday Farmers Market takes place.

The Festival will run from 12 PM to 4 PM and will feature a main stage and a new youth stage, both with live music and performance, food trucks, local vendors, community information booths, a Kid’s Play Space, and more!

The Santa Cruz Pride Parade & Festival, one of the oldest continuously operating Pride celebrations in the world, has been made possible for 40+ years because of the ongoing support and contributions of time, talent, and treasure by the residents of Santa Cruz County.
