By - posted 6/25/2016 No Comment

Art meets politics in a fleet of floats, vehicles, and marchers along Market Street during the San Francisco Pride Parade, one the nation’s largest LGBT events, starting at 10:30 am on Pride Sunday.

Bring a rainbow flag and come cheer on dykes on bikes, bears in straps, trannies in gowns, and others from SF’s colorful LGBT community.

The parade is the culmination of a month of Pride-themed events in the city, leading up to an all-out celebration for Pride weekend with the Pride Festival in Civic Center Plaza.
