San Francisco Pride Parade and Post-Parade Celebrations Bring City to Life.
TL;DR
Thousands of people continued the LGBTQ celebration after the San Francisco Pride Parade at Civic Center, giving the neighborhood an energy missing in recent years. Despite concerns about safety due to recent crime headlines, partiers from across the Bay Area and beyond dressed in elaborate costumes, laughed, and danced in the midafternoon sun. The party came as San Francisco is suffering from a commercial exodus downtown and facing extensive criticism for its handling of the homelessness and drug crises.
