Get ready to kick off San Diego Pride as The Hillcrest Business Association, in partnership with San Diego Pride, announces the annual Pride of Hillcrest Block Party 2019.
This event is presented by San Diego County Credit Union (SDCCU), Miller/Coors and Effen Vodka. The Pride of Hillcrest Block Party takes place on Friday, July 12, 2019.
Join thousands of people as they come out to Pride Plaza in celebration of this year’s Block Party theme, “Free to be you,” which speaks to the many of San Diegans who work and play in one of the country’s most recognized LGBT communities. People all across the U.S. will be making their way to Hillcrest for this free event which precedes the Stonewall Rally.
This year the Stonewall Rally commemorates 50 years of LGBT activism, heritage, and protest which paved the way for some of the freedoms the LGBT community enjoys today. But the fight is far from over and every year the Stonewall Rally honors those in the community who have made a difference and forged positive change for future generations to come.
Leave work early for happy hour at 2 pm and then grab your seats for this historic Stonewall Rally.
