Oakland Pride Parade, Festival, & Family Garden • 10:00am - 4pm
Description
Parade: meet at Broadway and 14th Street at 10am, to be ready for the 10:30am step-off.
Bring the whole family to march with our family contingent. Bring wheeled items of any kind – tricycles, scooters, wagons, strollers – for the six block, 1/2 mile route. Bring your own home-made sign, or hoist one of the many Proud of My Family signs we'll bring. First come, first served ADA access to grandstands at Broadway & Telegraph to view the parade. Fairyland train offers motorized option for folks with limited mobility. After a short and sweet stroll, the parade ends at Broadway and 20th Street, right at the entrance to Oakland Pride and the Family and Children's Garden. (map)
The Family & Children's Garden: open 11am - 4pm, located at Franklin and 21st Street, in the Kaiser Permanente parking lot.
We'll have arts & crafts, bounce houses, a petting zoo and pony rides, story time, theme park rides, contests, a photo booth to capture the memories, and more! If you need some down time during all that bustle, our Family Oasis is the perfect calm and shady spot.
The Family and Children's Garden is free; however, it is located within the Oakland Pride Festival, which costs $10 for adults, and $5 for children under 12. Our Family Coalition does not want anyone to miss out on Oakland Pride due to lack of funds. We have a limited number of free festival tickets available. Please e-mail ivy@ourfamily.org to request complimentary tickets.
We highly recommended that you take public transit if possible. BART is a convenient way to get to Oakland Pride! To watch the PARADE, exit at 12th St/Oakland City Center or 19th St Station. The FESTIVAL main entrance is located at Broadway & 20th Street, right outside of the BART station exit.
Help us build community, provide resources, and advocate for LGBTQ family equity.
