Lots of giveaways inc professional photos, flags, sunglasses, wrist bands, stress balls, and I even won a pair of shoes worth $125 ! - We won meet and greets with drag queens. So I imagine d with the businesses paying high fees - there isn’t a ticketed price - just lots of volunteers with buckets saying - ‘Give a dollar or five - keep pride alive!’ - & from what we could see almost everyone was donating. Some stalls pay between $5000 and $50000 to be a part of the celebration. Tomorrow their will be over x20 community stages in the epic site. A real community feel with every ethnicity feeling proud and involved. Large LED screens either side of the stage. One giant stage with sign language interpreters. Each year's events commemorate the Stonewall Uprising of 1969 the beginning of the modern Gay Rights movement.
VIP seating for tomorrow’s 3rd main parade, vip parties. Heritage of Pride is the non profit organization that plans and produces New York City's official LBGTQIA+ Pride events each year. You get $1 off drinks, a free pin badge and pride 2019 t-shirt. We paid for a VIP PRIDE PASS - $120 per adult. I can’t wait until Monday to tell you how AMAZING it is - So I’m gunna tell you now ! We travelled from the UK having been very disillusioned with the Uk pride events which we find are highly commercial affairs. Ok - So it’s the end of the Saturday on our 1st ever San Francisco Pride.
