DESCRIPTION:GENERAL INFO  Civic Center  Saturday June 25th (noon until 6:00pm)  Map at 
 http://www.sfpride.org  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 the B52'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 - the newly 
 formed Trans Stage, Two Spirit Gathering Space and Homo Hip Hop - as well 
 as our returning 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! \n
