Jun 23, 24: SF Pride 2012

The SF Pride Celebration will be held over the weekend of June 23 and 24, 2012, in downtown San Francisco in Civic Center at the foot of San Francisco’s historic City Hall where Harvey Milk once stood and addressed Pride-goers more than thirty years ago.

With over 200 parade contingents, 300 exhibitors, and more than 20 stages and venues, the San Francisco LGBT Pride Celebration and Parade is the largest LGBT gathering in the nation.

For those of you at SF Pride on Sunday, the B.ay A.rea D.erby Girls have a beer booth. If you are in need of water, soda, or beer, we promise that we want your money at least as much as every other beer booth.

We’ll be at the intersection of Hyde and Fulton for the whole event (beer sales open at 11am and close at 6pm).
