Marchers in the 2009 Pride Parade

San Diego Pride is a nonprofit organization based in San Diego, California. The organization operates various year-round programs, including an annual weeklong celebration every July, focusing on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.[1] The event features a Pride Parade on a Saturday, preceded by a block party and rally in the Hillcrest neighborhood the night before, and followed by a two-day Pride Festival on Saturday and Sunday in Balboa Park. Pride week is believed to be the largest annual civic event in the city of San Diego.[2] The parade has more than 300 floats and entries,[3] and is viewed by a crowd of over 250,000 people.[4]
