San Francisco’s Pride Parade returned to Market Street on Sunday, June 26, after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Dykes on BikesÒ, led by President Kate Brown and Vice President Pam Q, launched the start of the event with the powerful roar of their contingent’s engines at 10:30 am followed by dozens of cyclists.
This year’s parade, marking the 52nd year of this annual Pride tradition in San Francisco, was watched by hundreds of thousands of spectators and included more than 200 contingents. They included the SF Pride Board of Directors “Resistance” contingent; elected officials, including Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi; the 2022 Parade Grand Marshals; LGBTQ nonprofits; and representatives from businesses of all sizes.
San Francisco Bay Times columnist Donna Sachet served as co-anchor for the live broadcast of the parade by ABC7. SF Pride hosted a VIP Party at the Asian Art Museum. The annual Pride Festival included entertainment stages, food and beverage vendors, and exhibitor booths offering information and merchandise for sale.
