SC Pride falls on the first Sunday in June. Check our our Events page for a full listing of events.

We have several ways to participate in SC Pride.

• You can watch the parade

• Walk with an organization or business you are a part of

• Volunteer to help

• Be part of the after parade festival entertainment

• Have a booth in our festival

• Donate or Sponsor to support our work

Absolutely! We are an all volunteer organization and need all the help and support we can get. If you are interested we have many volunteer opportunities available.

We ask that folks walk with an organization or business you are a part of but there is plenty of room if you just have a few friends you want to walk with at the end of the procession. View our Parade page for more info.

Please visit our Festival page to find out more about pricing and types of booths. We do have early registration pricing so don’t wait as we do normally sell out every year!

Some years we have an open call for entertainers. Check out our Festival page for more info as we do have limited space.

Our event is in downtown Santa Cruz and there are many public parking lots, decks, and meters you can use during the day. Check out our Parade page for a map of downtown parking lots.

Our route does change from year to year but we will be walking down Pacific Ave in downtown Santa Cruz starting at 11am on the first Sunday in June. For a current map please visit our Parade page.

We generally set up the festival at the end of the parade route which is towards the Mission St. and Pacific Ave. end of downtown. We will also have 2 stages for performances set up. Please visit the Festival page for a map of the current year.
