Livermore Pridefest 2021

Livermore Pride is buggin’ out to bring back our groovy annual Festival on October 16th, 2021! October is LGBTQ+ History Month and nifty for an outdoor event in the East Bay. Jeepers creepers, the last year+ has been incredibly hard for us all (what a bummer!) and we believe that taking care of our community also means spreading joy during what has been a challenging year for us all. Let’s make it outta sight!

Mark your calendar for a full afternoon of outdoor, socially distanced entertainment including live performances from CHEER SF, drag show with Charity Kase & Ava LaShay and friends, a Pooch Parade to compete for the title “Proudest Pup”, and several other local performing artists for a full afternoon of entertainment.

There’s something for everyone at this all ages, all identities event - it’s gonna be what’s happening!

Visit local sponsors and merch & food vendors ranging from LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and ally businesses that you can get down with.

The show starts at 12:00 PM, so do yourself a solid and arrive a little early to get ready to get your groove on.
