What an amazing day!
This year's week of Sonoma County Pride events started off with bang with a Parade along Main Street in downtown Guerneville on Sunday May 31st, followed by a Celebration on the grounds of Dawn Ranch Lodge, with music, dancing, wine, beer, food, a children's area, vendors and information booths, and a Committment Ceremony.
The Sonoma County Pride Planning Committee is excited to have brought this annual event to Guerneville, at the heart of the Russian River, the site of so much of Sonoma County's LGBTQ community history! Both the Parade and Celebration exceeded our expectations for attendance -- we all had a great day, and we hope you did too!
The celebration was followed by a wonderful performance by Maxine Nightingale at the Russian River Resort.
