San Francisco Pride celebrations were in full swing Saturday.
A pride brunch at the St. Francis Hotel and a family friendly block party in the Castro set a lively tone for Sunday’s Pride parade.
In the Castro, families came out with their kids and pets for a pride-themed block party, complete with a petting zoo, drag contest, and lip sync battle.
“Normally, we go to Dolores, but sometimes it's a bit more adult centered, so we came from Vallejo just to check this out for our family,” said Vallejo resident Jaunesse Monroe-Speed.
Hosted by the Castro Merchants Association, the block party, now in its second year, is focused on supporting youth and connecting parents in the LGBTQ community.
