Pride Guide: How to celebrate and get around The City today

Pride is descending upon San Francisco, with a plethora of events celebrating and uplifting the LGBTQ+ community Sunday.

Transportation officials are expecting traffic reroutes and service changes for public transit. Whether you’ve already set up your itinerary or need a few more recommendations, here’s what you can expect as you navigate The City.

The Parade

The biggest event of the weekend will kick off at 10:30 a.m., heading down Market Street from the Embarcadero towards a celebration in Civic Center. Sunday’s stage will be headlined by Billy Porter, who is also serving as the grand marshal of the parade.

With more than 200 contingents set to march in this year’s parade, organizers expect it to last roughly four hours.

The annual Juanita MORE! Pride Party

Held at 620 Jones from noon to 7 p.m., this year’s event celebrates 20 years of being one of Pride weekend’s biggest fundraising events. Each year, a beneficiary is chosen by drag queen Juanita MORE!, and this year’s selection is the LYRIC Center of LGBTQ+ Youth .

The event space includes an indoor/outdoor space stocked with four bars, two levels, and a high-quality sound system. Juanita MORE! said that the venue’s rooftop has one of her favorite views of downtown San Francisco, so find time to take in the scenery before your partying re-commences.
