About this Event
River Proud Parade + Festival

Let it Flow!

Russian River Pride returns to downtown Guerneville for a day of Pride, joy, creativity, and community in the heart of the Russian River.

The celebration kicks off at noon with the River Proud Parade, filling downtown Guerneville with color, music, community groups, local organizations, and plenty of Pride. Find a spot along the route and cheer—or register to march and be part of it!

Then follow the celebration to the River Proud Festival, beginning immediately after the parade at approximately 1:00 PM.

Spread throughout the heart of downtown, the festival brings together live entertainment, local vendors, community organizations, family activities, food and drinks, and the Russian River Pride Beverage Garden. Come for an hour or make an afternoon of it.

Let It Flow

The Russian River is a place to breathe deeper and be fully yourself. This year's theme, Let It Flow, celebrates that spirit: joy, self-expression, creativity, identity, and the stories that bring us together.

What does Let It Flow mean to you?

Show us. Wear it. March with it. Dance to it. Celebrate it.

Whether you're marching in the parade, dancing by the stage, exploring local vendors, volunteering, bringing the family, or cheering from the sidelines, there's a place for you here.
