Friday, July 17, 6pm — Spirit of Stonewall Rally.
Pride celebrations everywhere trace their heritage to the evening of June 28, 1969 when patrons of the Stonewall Inn in New York City said “No more!” to police harassment. That protest has grown to annual events held in major cities throughout the world. In San Diego, our first rally was held in 1975. San Diego Pride’s Spirit of Stonewall Rally is a time to recognize and honor leaders who are working hard to preserve our gains and meet the many challenges still facing our community.
Come join us at the festival grounds at Marston Point in Balboa Park as cheering crowds and energetic speakers kick off San Diego Pride Weekend! Keynote Speaker: Toni Atkins, Speaker of the California State Assembly
