Sunday, September 11, 2022, was a day of incredible entertainment, information tables, merchandise booths, and food and beverage vendors as Pridefest Oakland was celebrated at 20th and Broadway Streets in Oakland.
Led by a talented, diverse board comprised of local community leaders, Pridefest Oakland is an annual LGBTQ pride celebration. Led by co-chairs DJ Christie James and Sean Sullivan along with The Oakland LGBTQ Community Center’s Joe Hawkins, the leadership also includes Val Klein, treasurer; Michael Barajas, secretary; and board members Michael Fuentes, Janelle Vinson, Valentino Carrillo, Jessie Spivey, Lauren Wilson, and Sergio Ardila.
The extensive lineup of entertainers featured special performances by Big Freedia, Crystal Waters, and Madame Gandhi and an appearance by Jeopardy! champion Amy Schneider, who will be a featured guest at Divas & Drinks @ The Academy on September 30: https://tinyurl.com/yzfhavp5
MPX vaccinations were available throughout the event, provided by the Alameda County Health Care Services Agency and the Public Health Department.
The San Francisco Bay Times is a proud sponsor of Pridefest Oakland and was represented by our booth manager Juan R. Davila and volunteers Blas López and Miguel Vázquez to whom we express much appreciation.
