Downtown there seems like a perfect spot, given the general region.

My grandparents attended when they lived in Groveland, actually.

(18,286 posts)I'm hoping to go to a local pride event next Sunday. Was planning to go last year, but we had a mini heatwave, and I can't stand being outside when it's hot and humid. It literally makes me physically ill. So I flaked. Hoping for better weather this year.
Right now the forecast is looking really good. Hoping it holds!

(18,362 posts)and found a wild and festive headband with stars and such bouncing off of it. The parade route was a couple blocks from our apartment. Husband and I arrived in just in time to see the cutest chihuahua decked out in a tutu and the Mayor at the time walking by. The street corner we were at was bubbling with joy, smiles and laughter. Husband went back to the apartment and I walked a few more blocks away from the parade to get takeout from Beyond Sushi. There was what appeared to be a homeless woman near the entrance to the restaurant. As I neared she asked if I was a lesbian and I answered no, but I wanted to support Gay Pride. She asked me why, and I said everyone should be able to safely and happily love whoever they love. I asked if she would like a meal and she said yes. On the way out I handed her a meal and she said thanks and added I never thought of it that way before. It was a wonderful day.
Enjoy your Pride outing! And glad your ❤️ is calm and collected!
