Oakland Pride Parade and Family and Children's Garden
Description
Parade: In lieu of Dykes on Bikes, the Oakland Pride Parade will kick off with Tykes on Trikes! That's right - Our Family Coalition's contingent is leading the parade. Please bring tricycles, scooters, wagons, strollers, and whatever you need for the six-block, .4-mile-long parade route. You can tote your own home-made sign or wave one of our "Proud of My Family" fans or signs. There is free first-come first-served ADA access to the grandstands at Broadway & Telegraph for viewing the parade. The Oakland Pride Parade is an experience not to be missed!
Meet at Broadway and 14th St. at 10am to be ready for the 10:30am step-off. The parade ends at Broadway and 20th St., right at the entrance to Oakland Pride and the Family and Children's Garden. (map)
Family & Children's Garden: This year's Family & Children's Garden has expanded, and the new location is at 21st and Franklin in the Kaiser Permanente parking lot, on the southwest corner (Family Garden map here). We'll have arts & crafts, story times, jumper tents, face painting, a petting zoo, games, contests, a photo/video booth to capture the memories, and more! If you need some down time during all that bustle, our Family Oasis is the perfect calm and shady spot.
The garden is within the Oakland Pride Festival, which costs $10, $5 for children under 12. Discount pre-sale tickets are available on Oakland Pride's website. Our Family Coalition does not want anyone to miss out on Oakland Pride due to lack of funds. We have a limited amount of free tickets available. Please e-mail yusni@ourfamily.org to request free tickets.
