Members of the UC Santa Cruz community are invited to join in this year's Santa Cruz Pride parade, which starts at 11 a.m. on Sunday, June 4.
Santa Cruz Pride is the largest LGBTQ+ event on the Central Coast and, founded in June 1975, is the third oldest annual Pride Parade and Festival celebrated in California. It attracts more than 7,000 participants every year.
The campus is sponsoring this year’s Santa Cruz Pride Festival and participating with a walking contingency in the parade. If you would like to join in the Santa Cruz Pride Parade please sign-up. Some rainbow Pride flags will be provided for individuals to carry in the parade. We encourage you all to wear your UCSC gear and rainbow colored attire to support the campus and our LGBTQ+ community.
