COVID-19 Information

San Diego Pride is excited to provide a variety of engagement options as we invite participants to celebrate Pride season in ways that feel comfortable, healthy, and safe. As we work to bring folks together again for Pride in 2023, we will also be providing live streaming options for many of our events. We will continue to work with local, state, and federal public health officials to adjust our policies and procedures to be in alignment with the ever-changing best practices that prioritize public health and safety.

The State of California strongly recommends that you be fully vaccinated, obtain a negative COVID-19 test prior to attending events, and wear a face covering. Please understand that populations that may not currently be eligible for vaccination, or maybe immunocompromised, and whose vaccine protection may be incomplete are at increased risk of contracting COVID-19 when attending large crowded events.

We encourage everyone to sign up for CA Notify as an added layer of protection for themselves and the community to receive alerts when you have been in close contact with someone who tests positive for COVID-19. Sign up here: canotify.ca.gov

Masks will be made available at the events and are highly encouraged.
