PRIDE Month
June marks the celebration of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) Pride Month. Old Pasadena joins in the celebration with a reminder that ALL ARE WELCOME and that we embrace diversity and inclusivity in our community! These promotions and events are taking place in Old Pasadena in honor of Pride Month, both to raise awareness and educate, as well as to provide support to important organizations.
The City of Pasadena celebrates throughout June with a variety of virtual programs and workshops for teens and adults as well as free take-and-make creative crafts and events for all ages. The City of Pasadena holds the Progress Pride Flag raising ceremony in front of City Hall, 100 N. Garfield Avenue, on Wednesday, June 1, at 12:30 pm. The flag was designed by non-binary artist Daniel Quasar and made by San Diego-based Pride Flag SD, the first Queer-owned flag company.

And we recommit to delivering protections, safety, and equality to LGBTQI+ families so that everyone can realize the full promise of America." - President Biden
