San Francisco

San Francisco is internationally renowned as a LGBTQ+ mecca, with the Castro District serving as the heart of the gay community. The city has been at the forefront of LGBTQ+ rights and culture for decades, from Harvey Milk's activism to the AIDS crisis response. The Castro features iconic venues like Twin Peaks Tavern, The Mix, and Castro Theatre. San Francisco Pride is one of the largest Pride celebrations globally, and the city's progressive politics and diverse queer community make it a beacon for LGBTQ+ individuals worldwide.

The 56th annual San Francisco Pride will take place June 27–28, 2026, celebrating ‘Generations of Pride’ with its famous Market Street parade.
