    Formed in 1974 as a sponsored program of The Center for Social Services, we produced the first Sapphic and Gay Pride in San Diego to celebrate the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion on New York’s Christopher Street. San Diego Pride incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 1994, and today it continues to bring together the skills, talents, and visions of our diverse community through numerous programs.

    San Diego Pride raises funds primarily through festival ticket and beverage sales, and through sponsorships, and exhibitor fees. These funds support San Diego Pride’s community altruism which has distributed more than $2.5 million in advancement of its mission to foster identity festival, equality, and respect for all womxn loving womxn, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities locally, nationally, and globally.
