Dear Pride Community,
It’s been my honor to help shape the sounds, stories, and stages of San Diego Pride — to curate lineups that reflect the heartbeat of our community. And this year, I’m beyond proud to share with you what may be our most powerful lineup yet. Our 2025 San Diego Pride Festival will be headlined by two incredible artists whose talent and visibility have changed the game for LGBTQIA+ people around the world.
This is more than a show. This is a statement. At a time when rights and liberties are being threatened, our stages become platforms for resistance, visibility, and joy. These artists represent what it means to live boldly and unapologetically — and to thrive in the face of adversity. San Diego Pride is thrilled to welcome two iconic artists to headline the Stonewall Stage:
Kehlani — GRAMMY®-nominated, multi-platinum artist whose music and authenticity has inspired millions.
Kim Petras — GRAMMY® Award-winning pop icon and the first openly transgender woman to win in her category.
Our theme this year, Unbreakable Pride. Unshakeable Power., speaks to the moment we’re in — and the movement we are. And I believe this lineup captures that spirit fully.
Thank you for trusting me with this work. I can’t wait to see you in Balboa Park this July 19-20, dancing, singing, and standing together in celebration of all that we are and all we continue to fight for.
BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW and fuel the movement.
With Pride,
Gardenia
