Looking for unforgettable Pride events in San Francisco and the Bay Area? You’re in the right place.
June in the Bay Area means more than just rainbow flags and parades—it’s a full spectrum of celebrations, from Sonoma to San Jose, spotlighting queer joy in all its forms. While big-name Pride events grab the headlines, including The Pride Concert at the Curran featuring SFGMC, some of the most meaningful moments happen in smaller, community-rooted spaces: trans-led gatherings, nonbinary open mics, gospel concerts for Juneteenth, and genre-defying performances that might not make the typical event roundups.
That’s where we come in.
The San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus is proud to uplift and participate in Pride programming across the region. In this guide, we’re sharing some of the most unique, inclusive, and under-the-radar events happening this June—from the mainstage to the margins, and everywhere in between.
Whether you're a longtime San Franciscan or visiting for the first time, you'll find something here that speaks to your heart and reminds you why Pride matters now more than ever.
