From its roots as a protest to the present day’s

From its roots as a protest to the present day’s monthlong celebration of the LGBTQ community, Pride is a major, rainbow-covered occasion in the Bay Area. Here’s where you can honor Pride Month:

Towns across Marin hold their own Pride events. First up, Novato raises the Pride Flag in front of city hall (June 1), then Mill Valley kicks off a month of events with a party in Depot Plaza (June 7). Sausalito Pride lasts a whole weekend, with a history presentation and “tea dance” in its schedule (June 20–22). And San Rafael’s Pride Art Walk fills pride in the windows of downtown businesses all month long.

For film buffs, there’s the San Francisco International LGBTQ Film Festival (June 18–28) and the third-annual Pride at the Rafael by CAFILM (June 13–15). You can also hear about poet Elsa Gidlow at Samuel P. Taylor for a pride-themed California State Parks Week event (June 13), or listen to a panel discussion about grandparenting transgender individuals at Fairfax library (June 5).

Wine Country gets in on the fun too, with Sonoma County Pride happening at Santa Rosa’s Courthouse Square (May 30–June 1), and Gay Wine Weekend lies on the horizon in mid-summer (July 18–20).

San Francisco is packed with events all month, like the Giants’ Pride Day at Oracle Park (June 7) and the SF Gay Men’s Chorus concert at Curran Theatre (June 21). Free activities abound, like the Yerba Buena Gardens’ Pride festival (June 28), a themed show at the Golden Gate Bandshell (June 22) and — of course — the 55th annual Pride parade (June 29).
