Here’s where to celebrate inclusivity and LGBTQ pride in the Alamo City.
SAN ANTONIO — From concerts to drag queen bingo to drag shows to parades, these are the Pride events to put on your calendar.
Pride Month is a time for San Antonio’s LGBTQ+ residents to come together in shows of solidarity, community and expression. For every city-sanctioned party like the River Walk Pride Parade, there are several smaller events tailored around inclusion for San Antonians of all genders and sexual orientations to partake in.
Check out our list of events below. (If you know of an event not on this list, please email news@kens5.com.)
