Oakland gay pride parade 2022

here's a lot to unearth for Oakland Pride, thanks to the great content provided by Visit Oakland for the Sept. 9 parade (Visit Oakland's Website)  and the Pride website itself -

Run by Kin Folkz, Spectrum isn't just a source of information but events position together by Kin and isn't just during Lgbtq+ fest week but throughout the year.

For Pride week, Kin mixes in musical events, movie screens, drag shows and comedy - all culminating the day of the Sept. 9 parade.

Highlights of the week include:

September 3: Queer Cruise

​Hop aboard at Jack London Square and go on a three hour bay cruise that may not add a trip to "Gilligan's Island" but will likely have a few gingers and maybe a Mary Ann.

September 4: Open Mic

​Held at the beautiful Piedmont Avenue, this event mixes comedy, a few limited films and at the same time is fundraising to benefit the Oakland LGBTQ Center's Arts and Cultures programs.

September 5: Arts and Film Festival

The historic Grand Lake theatre will showcase three film segments
