Picnic at Dolores Park & Trans March—Pride 2026

When: Friday, June 26. Time TBD

Outlandish! stands in solidarity with the trans community. We value each and every one of our trans and gender nonconforming participants. What better way to celebrate and show our support than a colorfully peaceful march in the fabulous June weather of San Francisco? Trans allies, family members, and friends are welcome to join us. Costumes and outrageous outfits are encouraged! We’ll kick off the event with a fun picnic at Dolores Park then launch into the March from there.

Additional details will be announced soon.
