We showed up in style at last year’s Pride Parade, and we’re here to help you do the same at Pride events all month long.
Pride Month is now underway, and you can count on Muni to get you to events across the city.
We are proud to help San Francisco residents and visitors from around the world celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.
Our buses, trains and streetcars will take you to small businesses that have classic San Francisco charm. Muni can also get you to the heart of downtown. That’s where the 55th annual Pride Celebration kicks off at the end of the month and lots of lively events are taking place this year.
No matter where you go, we’re here to move you with Pride.
To help you celebrate all month, we want to let you know about a wide range of events shared by Mayor Lurie. Learn what’s happening in the weeks leading up to Pride Parade weekend -- and see how to get there on Muni. Closer to the big parade, we will reach out again with a full list of weekend events and travel updates.
