Overview
San Francisco Pride is committed to making our annual celebration and parade accessible for everyone, including those with disabilities. We strive to create an environment that is inclusive and welcoming, and we work hard to remove any barriers that may prevent people from fully participating in the festivities.
We offer accommodations to ensure that the event is accessible to everyone. This includes accessible seating areas, fully wheelchair-accessible festival area, ASL interpretation, and accessible restrooms. Our team also works closely with local disability advocacy groups to ensure that our accommodations meet the needs of the community.
Pride Parade
In what we call our Parade Grandstands, we have ticketed bleacher seating and live parade narration and judging by a panel of judges, hosted by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. The area opens at 9:00AM, and the parade begins an hour later at 10:00AM.
For folks using wheelchairs, or otherwise providing their own seat, we offer unobstructed parade viewing at no cost for yourself and one guest. The guest is provided a folding chair so they can sit with you in the area in front of the bleachers.
Request Mobility Accommodation
For deaf or hard of hearing ticket holders, we have ASL interpretation of the parade, and what the judges are saying to the crowd. Please make sure to check the box for ASL Interpretation when you purchase a ticket so we can reserve you a space on the bleachers.
Celebration Stages
Main Stage
Our Main Stage has ASL interpretation throughout the day for all performances.
We have a designated Accessible Viewing Area for those who require accommodations, which offers a clear view of the stage. Accessible seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Community Stages
Each of our Community Stages have ASL interpretation throughout the day for all performances.
A11y Volunteers
At our annual celebration, we have a dedicated team of volunteers to assist guests with disabilities. They are available to help with navigation, provide information about accessible services, and ensure that everyone has a positive experience.
Our volunteers receive limited training to understand the needs of guests with disabilities, but are committed to providing the best possible support.
If you need assistance during the event, go to our Information Booth at Fulton and Larkin, or reach out using the live chat option on our website that is available during the event.
