San Gabriel Valley Pride is counting down to a party!
Their 2012 San Gabriel Valley Pride Festival, themed “The Road to Equality,” happens this Sunday, October 14th, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the Pasadena City College campus. You’re invited to bring your whole family and come celebrate with them!
San Gabriel Valley Pride Festival started off as a small picnic in the park, in 2001. Today, it’s grown to a festive event that includes live entertainment, face painting and classic cars.
Their 2012 festival also incorporates some exciting “firsts”: they’re having an authors’ lounge, AND a “Big Draw L.A.” event!
San Gabriel Valley Pride differs from other Pride organizations in their emphasis on family-oriented, and FREE, events. SGV Pride Board Member Chris Ramirez, President Mitch Braiman and Event Director Monique LeBleu offered a preview of this weekend’s festivities.
And heads-up: they can use volunteers and donations. Also, if you’re an entertainer and are willing to volunteer your time, they might like to talk to you about performing for their NEXT Pride Festival, in 2013!
