Sonoma County Pride Parade is Proudly Sponsored by: 
Join us for our 31st annual Sonoma County Pride celebration event, the first in our new location. This year’s parade will begin at Freedom Park, travel down 4th street and will end Old Courthouse Square.
This year’s theme is Together We Rise. Since the election many in our community feel threatened by the hateful rhetoric and policies of the current national political leadership. Also the recent tragic fires have brought trauma and dislocation to many. This year’s theme is about joining together to resist bigotry and discrimination and helping our community heal and rebuild.
Parade participants are encouraged to design their unit to show that Together We Rise.

Take a trip down memory lane… and learn more about how the LGBTQI community has evolved in this county. Sonoma County has long been a friendly and welcoming home to LGBTQI people. In the 1970s, lesbian and gay culture flourished here. The Gay Liberation and Lesbian Feminist movements created grassroots organizations and leaders, businesses and social groups dedicated to coming out and establishing ourselves in public spaces. LGBTQI people moved to Sonoma County from other less welcoming areas to enjoy the freedom created here.
This first year, The North Bay LGBTQI Timeline highlights the transformative years of 1970 to 1990. This collection of images and descriptive narratives will amplify your experience of PRIDE!
Look for this informative and engaging exhibit at the Sonoma County PRIDE Festival, Saturday, June 2nd at Courthouse Square in Santa Rosa.
This year North Bay LGBTQI Families is working hand-in-hand with 2018 Sonoma County Pride Festival to bring our community of families the inaugural Kid Zone!
