THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN PARTNERING WITH SAN DIEGO PRIDE.

San Diego Pride is one of the oldest LGBTQIA+-serving organizations in the region, among the largest Pride celebrations in the country, and an internationally recognized destination event. Each year our work brings together community, culture, and celebration while advancing equity, dignity, and belonging for LGBTQIA+ people locally and beyond.

This moment calls for courage, care, and connection. Across the country, LGBTQIA+ communities are navigating uncertainty but we are also witnessing the strength that comes from standing together. San Diego Pride moves forward grounded in that strength.

In 2026, we affirm what has always carried us through: our people, our joy, and our shared commitment to one another. Pride shines through visibility and celebration. It shines when partners choose to stand with community, not just when it’s easy, but when it truly matters.

Our work is guided by San Diego Pride’s Pillars of Justice, Disability, Economic, Environmental, Gender, Health, Racial, and Reproductive Justice, reflecting our belief that progress is interconnected and that lasting impact is built through intentional partnership.

2026 Deadlines

Signed Sponsorship Agreements due TBD
Festival needs and logo due ,TBD

Given the current political climate, many LGBTQIA+ organizations nationwide are experiencing a decline in corporate sponsorships. Unfortunately, some brands have chosen to pause their sponsorships this year or have chosen not to be as vocal about their participation. This makes it all the more critical for individuals to show up, speak out, and support Pride organizations.

We understand our sponsor partners will make decisions based on what they feel is the best path forward for their brands. Whether or not they are participating this year, we look forward to working with them again in the future. As we look ahead to this year’s festival, our focus remains on delivering a world-class event that celebrates and uplifts our community.
