San Diego’s Pride Week is all about delivering top-notch entertainment, creating a space for the community, and of course, a celebration.
This year, in honor of this significant milestone, Pride is giving the stage to “ icons of the future, particularly BIPOC, women, and trans artists, while remembering those who have come before us.”
