OFFICIALLY BACK IN action, San Francisco Pride 2023 featured hundreds of thousands of colorful revelers flooding Market Street to witness and celebrate one of the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ Pride parades in its 53^rd year.  

The parade began Sunday at 10:30 a.m. near The Embarcadero, moving down the street to Civic Center boasting the colors of the rainbow against the classic foggy, gray morning sky. It concluded at Civic Center Plaza with the second day of the traditional celebration, featuring headliner Hayley Kiyoko, dubbed by fans as “Lesbian Jesus.”
