Monterey Peninsula Pride aims to create and contribute to a vibrant, multifaceted LGBTQIA+ community for a more connected, celebratory, and inclusive Monterey Bay area for both queer people and allies.
Our Big Idea is to scale up our annual Pride parade and celebration to attract tens of thousands of participants so that Monterey Pride as an event and the Monterey Peninsula itself gains recognition as an inclusive city for LGBTQIA+ locals, and, a queer destination for tourists around the world. This funding will enable us to enhance the quality and reach of our Pride event, featuring larger parades, more diverse entertainment, and expanded activities that celebrate and uplift the LGBTQ community.
Pride is a way to give back to the community and make it safer for all of us.
