Fun & Festivities
Catch live performances throughout the weekend, including Drag Queen Storytime, Queer Taiko, the Gay Freedom Band, a sound bath by Banyan Tree Women's Collective, and colorful Mexican folk dancing by Folclorico Colibri. Meet with representatives from local LGBTQ+ organizations at their tables in the Garden.
Libations & Bites
Stop at the Meadow for a special Pride-themed cocktail or mocktail from the Bluebird Bar, and grab a bite to eat from a food truck in the Grove.

All month long, view artwork from the Queer Ancestors Project in the House, look for objects in the Pride scavenger hunt, and take a Rainbow hike along the hiking trail to learn about the symbolism of the colors in the LGBTQ+ flag.
