Worried about accessibility at Sac Pride? We got you covered! Come by the accessibility tent right when you enter the festival to ask about checking out a mobility device or an ASL interpreter to navigate the festival in comfort. In addition to the tent resources, we will have ramps on all medians and ASL interpreters on both stages!

Stay Safe in the Heat!

June in Sacramento can be hot, and we want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable Pride experience. Consider setting up the emergency contact feature on your smart phone, or carrying a card that has your emergency information on it.

Know the Signs of Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke
Watch for:
- Heavy sweating
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Nausea
- Headache
- Muscle cramps
- Rapid pulse
- Confusion or disorientation
- Hot, dry skin

Water Station:
Bring a reusable water bottle and take advantage of the water refill station located by the Q-Spot/Youth & Family Zone. Staying hydrated is one of the easiest and most important ways to stay safe in the heat.

Cooling & Medical Support:
Need a break from the sun? Our medical team and cooling areas will be available throughout the weekend for anyone needing assistance, hydration, or a place to rest.
If you begin feeling dizzy, weak, nauseous, confused, or develop a headache, seek help immediately.

Club 55+ Community Space
Despite the name, Club 55+ is open to everyone.
This welcoming indoor space offers a quieter environment for anyone who may be feeling overstimulated, overwhelmed, or simply needs a break from the crowds and festival activity. Stop in, cool down, recharge, and return to the celebration when you're ready.

If someone is experiencing symptoms of heat stroke, alert volunteers and medical staff immediately. Stay safe, and Happy Pride!

It shows us that progress is not inevitable, it is built and protected by people who choose to come together.” Read the latest Op-Ed in the Sac Bee written by our CEO David Heitstuman:

Pride is truly a lifeline.

Recently, one community member shared with us how attending Sacramento Pride alone, during one of the hardest moments in their life, led them to the Center… and changed their path entirely. From a simple conversation and a flyer to finding support, stability, and a sense of belonging; this is the impact your community makes possible.

“Maybe I’m not supposed to disappear… maybe there is still a life for me.”

Stories like this remind us why Pride matters, and why spaces like ours do too.
