2015 Pride Stages & Entertainment Lineup

There’s plenty of Pride spirit to spare with the Pink Saturday block party, plus happy hours and celebrations all around town.

Pink Saturday “Pink Party”

The night before the Pride Parade, The Pink Party takes over the streets of the Castro by closing them to cars and then pumping multiple sound stages to celebrate a long-time tradition of bringing a fabulous, queer and community-focused street party to raise money for local, LGBT non-profit organizations.

In 2015, the SF LGBT Center takes the reins of the party to bring you five blocks of DJs, drag and live acts on four stages, food trucks and more.
