San Francisco Pride has been said to be "one of the last remaining pride events that can truly be called a rite of passage."
2010 marks the 40th anniversary of the San Francisco Pride Celebration and Parade.
The event will be held over the weekend of
June 26 and 27, 2010 in the Civic Center of downtown San Francisco.
With over 200 parade contingents, 300 exhibitors, and 19 stages and venues, the San Francisco LGBT Pride Celebration and Parade is the largest LGBT gathering in the nation.
The
San Francisco Pride Celebration is packed with a wide variety of
exhibitors, artists, music of all kinds, performers, dance stages and venues, and fun. There really is something here for everyone.
The Celebration at Civic Center is host to our
Main Stage
where in 2009 Asian pop sensation
BoA wowed Pride-goers with new
beats alongside Solange Knowles and the Cliks and where in
2008, attendees saw Lady Gaga, Margaret Cho,
Kat DeLuna, Inaya Day, Crystal Waters, speakers from the
marriage equality movement, and San Francisco Mayor Gavin
Newsom, among others.

The event theme for the 40th annual San Francisco
Pride Celebration & Parade was selected by Pride's
Membership. Acknowledging the need for celebration in the wake of Prop 8, the membership
selected "Forty and Fabulous" from a
slate of 51 potential themes, each submitted by community
members and members of Pride. Member Richard Kravitz, who
submitted the winning theme, explained his submission, "I
thought that we needed something fun. Last year, I
told Executive Director Lindsey Jones that the theme for next
year should be ‘Forty and Fabulous.’ She said to submit it, and
so I did."
