This weekend, San Diego people will flood Hillcrest and Balboa Park for San Diego Pride.
On Saturday and Sunday, the streets will turn into vibrant celebrations of the LGBTQ+ community. The exuberance of the crowd at the parade always has an infectious energy.
Uptown News is a sponsor of San Diego Pride and we’re pleased to present all the event has to offer in our Pride Guide, both online and in the print editions of Uptown News and Downtown News.
See all our Pride coverage here, or page through the viewer below to enjoy the print edition of the Pride Guide.
The guide includes everything from practical information like the festival schedule and map updates to 2025 highlights, including profiles of local LGBTQ+ luminaries, stalwart advocates and artists doing tremendous and inspiring work.
Since Pride is a special event, we also thought you might like to pick up a copy of our 2025 Pride Guide to remember the season. It hits stands Friday morning.
