San Francisco Pride is dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive environment for all participants at our annual parade and celebration. The safety and well-being of our attendees are our top priorities.
For the safety and security of all guests, staff, and performers at the San Francisco Pride Celebration, with the support of the municipal, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, as well as local security companies, we have planned a robust security plan that includes weapon detection technology at each access point.
