Pride: 2023
2023 marked the dawn of a new era with the reemergence of a Pride Parade and Festival in Guerneville, CA.
The event sought to re-energize our community with fun, education, and the promotion of acceptance while
raising much-needed funds for local non-profits.
The festivities began with the highly anticipated Pride Parade, where floats, marchers, and performers paraded down Main Street in a dazzling display of creativity and self-expression. Local organizations, businesses, and individuals came together to showcase their support and pride.
Following the parade, the celebration continued with the Pride Festival at Johnson's Beach, featuring an array of entertainment, food trucks, and vendor booths. Attendees enjoyed live performances by talented artists and drag queens, delicious culinary offerings, and the opportunity to browse a variety of community and artisan booths.
The 2023 Guerneville Pride Parade and Festival was more than just an event—it was a reminder of the power of community and a testament to the love and acceptance that define Guerneville's unique charm.
We thank all our sponsors, volunteers, and attendees for making 2023 Pride celebration an incredible success!
