SGV’s annual Pride event—“Fall In Love With Pride”—will be held in Pasadena’s Memorial Park on Saturday, October 17th from 11am to 6pm. It is free to the public.

Holly St; a Health Fair for everyone (Youth, Seniors, Men and Women); Pasadena Humane Society with pet adoptions supported by local pet shops; an Authors’ Forum with readings/signings including Lambda Literary award nominees and book sales supported by Vroman’s.
Festival-goers can once again participate in The Big Draw LA—a free community draw experience from LA County Cultural Affairs.
There will also be an adult-only area with a Barefoot Wine Tasting fundraiser.
About 50 area exhibitors will be participating (about 85% non-profit service organizations) such as the Social Security Administration, Muse/Ique, the Asian PFLAG chapter in Pasadena, Pasadena PFLAG among others.
