Second annual Pride In The Park set for June 12th in Vacaville

On Sunday June 12th from 12 - 5PM the Vacaville People’s Forum in cooperation with Solano Pride Center and Uptown Fox Events will host Pride In The Park. The one-day festival will take place in the upper grassy area of Andrews Park located at 614 E. Monte Vista Avenue in Vacaville. 

The event is an opportunity for Solano County’s growing LGBTQIA+ community to commemorate Pride Month and will feature live performances from local queens, a DJ, interactive craft booths, resource tables and 20 local vendors, many of them LGBTQIA+ businesses, will be selling handmade and custom items. There will also be an hourly drawing featuring items from the vendors at the event. Proceeds raised will benefit the Solano Pride Center.

Admission to Pride In The Park is FREE. Well-behaved dogs on leash are welcome. Parking is available at the George E. Duke Center or on surrounding streets.

The event is currently accepting Arts & Crafts vendors with a preference for handmade items made by LGBTQIA+ community members. For more vendor info email Brooke@UptownFox.com or call 917-586-4064. Applications are available here
