Among the many Pride events around the Bay Area, there was a block party Saturday in the Castro District for families.
SAN FRANCISCO -- An organization representing merchants in San Francisco's Castro District hosted a family block party on Saturday as Pride weekend began. The event showed that celebrating LGBT equality can include everyone of all ages and while helping businesses as they continue their recovery from the pandemic.
Porestsky and her partner Stace Dubin felt they had to acknowledge the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday to overturn Roe v. Wade but they still wanted to enjoy Pride as a family. It is the city's first Pride celebration in person without COVID-related cancellations since 2019. Castro District businesses hope they will keep seeing Saturday's level of foot traffic as shops and restaurants are reliant on tourism and local customers.
The block party featured a story time with a drag queen as well as a competition among drag kings and queens on a stretch of Noe Street off of Market Street. There were also vendors showcasing their art and a petting zoo.
