Oakland Pride Parade and Family Garden
Description
Oakland Pride Parade and Family & Children's Garden
Parade: In lieu of Dykes on Bikes, the first-ever Oakland Pride Parade will kick off with Tykes on Trikes! That's right - Our Family Coalition's contingent is leading the parade. Please bring tricycles, scooters, wagons, strollers, and whatever you need for the six-block, .4-mile-long parade route. You can tote your own home-made sign or wave one of our "Proud of My Family" fans or signs. There is free first-come first-served ADA access to the grandstands at Broadway & Telegraph for viewing the parade. The first Oakland Pride Parade is an experience not to be missed!
Meet at Broadway and 14th St. at 10am to be ready for the 10:30am step-off. The parade ends at Broadway and 20th St., right at the entrance to Oakland Pride and the Family and Children's Garden.
Family & Children's Garden: The most fun place in Oakland Pride will be on Franklin St., just below 20th in the parking lot behind Union Bank, from 11am-4pm. We'll have arts & crafts, storytimes, jumper tents, face painting, a petting zoo, games, contests, a photo/video booth to capture the memories, and more! If you need some down time during all that bustle, our Family Oasis is the perfect calm and shady spot.
The garden is within the Oakland Pride Festival, which costs $10, $5 for children under 12. Discount pre-sale tickets are available on Oakland Pride's website. Our Family Coalition does not want anyone to miss out on Oakland Pride due to lack of funds. We have a limited amount of free tickets available. Please e-mail shareena@ourfamily.org to request free tickets.
