5th Annual Clayton Pride Parade and Festival (2026)

Clayton Pride proudly announces the return of the largest Pride Parade in Contra Costa County, taking place on Sunday, May 31, 2026, at 10:00 AM along Main Street in beautiful downtown Clayton.
This year’s theme, “Just Love, No Label,” underscores the event’s celebration of inclusion, community, and resilience. This year’s festivities will expand into a vibrant Festival in The Grove Park, showcasing a dynamic celebration of LGBTQQIA+ pride and allyship to include food trucks and extended hours.
KTVU Meteorologist, Roberta Gonzales, will serve as the Parade Grand Marshal and keynote speaker to share inspiring remarks on the importance of acceptance and advocacy.
Former Clayton Mayor, CW Wolfe, will once again take the microphone as parade emcee.
Generously supported by a coalition of Clayton residents, the Clayton Business and Community Association (CBCA), various churches, and businesses, the parade will feature colorful floats, captivating drag performances, live music, and more. In The Grove Park, festival goers will enjoy:
• A diverse array of information tables spotlighting East Bay LGBTQ+ resources
• Local artisans, live (on-stage) musician performances, and food vendors
• A Kids’ Area with games, crafts, and storytelling
At its heart, Clayton Pride is dedicated to creating a city where everyone thrives as healthy, equal members of society. Through advocacy, community building, and education, Clayton Pride works to foster a culturally rich and inclusive environment for all.
Join us in celebrating love, inclusion, and community spirit at the 5th Annual Clayton Pride Parade & Festival!
