Parking instructions
Please plan ahead! Parking in the parade area is extremely limited.
Arrive early and carpool when possible: Traffic increases significantly as step‑off approaches, and shared rides reduce congestion.
Use public transit, rideshare, or micromobility options: Trolley, bus, bike, and scooter access points are located throughout the neighborhood.
Review road closures and no‑parking zones on our website: Updated maps include parade staging areas, tow‑away zones, and rolling closures.
Respect all posted signage and temporary barricades: Vehicles parked in restricted areas may be ticketed or towed at the owner’s expense.
Accessible drop‑off and pick‑up zones are available: ADA‑friendly locations are designated near key viewing areas and festival entrances.
Do not block driveways, alleys, or emergency access lanes: These areas must remain clear for residents and first responders.
Plan extra time for walking from your parking location: Neighborhood streets will be busy, and pedestrian traffic will be heavy.
Health & safety
Your safety and well‑being are our top priority. Please help us create a joyful, welcoming, and secure Pride celebration.
Stay hydrated throughout the day: Bring a reusable water bottle
Wear sunscreen and weather‑appropriate clothing: Shade can be limited, and temperatures may rise quickly.
Follow instructions from parade marshals, volunteers, and security staff: They are trained to support crowd flow, safety, and emergency response.
Report any suspicious activity or safety concerns immediately: Notify the nearest staff member, volunteer, or law enforcement officer.
Keep personal belongings secure and within sight: Large crowds can create opportunities for misplaced items.
Use designated medical tents for first aid needs: EMTs and trained personnel are available throughout the event.
