San Diego Pride announced today the full lineup of events for 2021 San Diego Pride week July 10–18. Over 20 in-person and virtual events will help our LGBTQ community celebrate Pride all across San Diego County with this year’s theme, Resilient.
San Diego Pride’s board, staff, and year-round program volunteer leaders worked with community partners, sponsors, and small businesses to create unique Pride celebrations that honor the breadth of diversity with options that feel joyful and safe.

San Diego Pride Executive Director, Fernando Z. López: “This Pride will be different, but we will still gather, march, rally, mourn, and celebrate. Some of us will feel safe enough to join crowds, some will celebrate with close friends and family at home, and some will tune in from around the world. Pride started as a riot against police violence. Pride is a protest, a celebration, a gasp for air. Pride is our resilient unshackled vibrance gathered, pursuing justice with joy. However you choose to celebrate Pride with us this year, thank you. Your strength, bravery, and fearless queer brilliance carried you and us to brighter days. It is each of you who makes us collectively resilient.”
Viejas Tribal Chairman, John Christman: “Viejas is proud to partner with and support essential community organizations like San Diego LGBT Pride. For years, Pride has provided invaluable services to the San Diego LGBT community, even more so during the recent pandemic. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with Pride as its title sponsor for 2021 and to support all of the community services and programs Pride provides.”
San Diego Pride Director of Philanthropy, Sarafina Scapicchio: “We are so grateful for this year’s sponsors who have intentionally invested in this year’s Pride celebration and our organizations so that our staff and volunteers can continue to provide 30+ year-round programs and events for our LGBTQ community during this on-going pandemic. We are especially thankful to the Viejas Band Of Kumeyaay Indians who are long-time sponsors and who stepped up to become our Presenting Sponsors this year.”
Hillcrest Business Association Executive Director, Ben Nicholls: “The Hillcrest business community is extremely excited to welcome folks back to the neighborhood to celebrate Pride in all its forms this July! There are so many exciting events, and so many ways to support Pride and Hillcrest businesses.”
insideOUT General Manager, Paris Quion: As we move forward from challenging times, be proud that we, like many times before, are moving forward together. An inclusive, united, strong, and proud community. We can make it through anything. Happy Pride!”
