DESCRIPTION:GENERAL INFO  Civic Center - Saturday June 24th, 2006 (noon until 6:00pm)  
 Civic Center - Sunday June 25th, 2006 (noon until 7:00pm)  The Pride 
 Experience! Every year at the beginning of June, 500 rainbow flags are 
 hoisted the length of Market Street and San Francisco explodes with 
 queerness. For a city known as "Gay Mecca" for the other eleven months of 
 the year, June is Queer Heaven. Frameline (the International Gay and 
 Lesbian Film Festival), the National Queer Arts Festival, the Transgender 
 March, the Dyke March and Pink Saturday are just a few of the major events 
 that take place in San Francisco during the month of June.   The energy 
 reaches a crescendo the last weekend in June with the official SF Pride 
 Celebration. Vendors, artists, performers and musicians begin reveling the 
 crowds on Saturday afternoon.  The next morning, the roar of 500 
 motorcycles heralds the start of the Pride Parade, a dazzling cavalcade of 
 diversity. The streets are lined 12 deep and 3 high as the crowds cheer the 
 contingents on.  Then its on to the celebration at Civic Center for the 
 second day of our celebration! In previous years - world famous acts such 
 as En Vogue, the B-52's, Jennifer Holiday, Jimmy Somerville, Chaka Khan, 
 and Joan Baez have graced our main stage with the best national and 
 international performances taking place on our community stages - our 
 second year stages include the Trans Stage, Two Spirit Gathering Space and 
 Homo Hip Hop - as well as our veteran stages, the Asian and Pacific 
 Islander Stage, Nectar Women's Stage, Soul of Pride African American Stage, 
 Latin stage and more! We also have gathering spaces for kids, elders, and 
 deaf/hard of hearing folks. Read on for more information about each of 
 these exciting venues.  Join us for two days of music, food and fun... all 
 for FREE! No tickets are needed and no one is turned away for lack of 
 funds.  All we can hope is that we can depend on your generosity at the 
 entrances to the Celebration, in the form of donations. San Francisco Pride 
 costs over a million dollars to produce, and we need your donation to make 
 that possible. Shared with charities throughout the Bay Area, donations 
 from the celebration enable us to award over $150,000 in grants. With your 
 help, we can do even better this year, and invest in our community's 
 future!   http://www.sfpride.org\n
