Sit perched above Market Street in the sophisticated Equinox lounge and watch the 47th annual San Francisco Pride Parade roll down Market Street. Mix, mingle and enjoy an incredible day of partying!
Here's what you can expect at this very special VIP Party:
- Open Bar

Through Equinox's generous sponsorship, 100% of monies raised will support Academy of Friends' mission of benefitting HIV/AIDS Services throughout the Bay Area.
Must be 21+ to attend this event.
Things to know about the Parade:
- The Pride Parade starts at 10:30am and will last until... it's done!
- Seating: you CAN buy tickets to sit in the grandstands... those are $40 (tix info here); BUT, the best 'seats' are always standing along the Parade route. Get there EARLY cause it can get slightly busy
- There will be almost 250 participating groups/contingents. Yes, it takes a while, but it's ALWAYS a blast!
- The parade route runs down Market St. starting at Beale and goes to Eighth St. (see map below).
