The 2025 Petaluma Pride Festival @ the Fairgrounds
National Coming Out Day — Saturday, October 11 from 12-5pm

Join us for a free-to-attend all ages festival, featuring live music and performances, food trucks, libations, activities for kids and adults, and a community fair featuring local communities, resources, artists, and businesses. Bring a picnic blanket, chairs, and some shade to kick back and enjoy the whole afternoon!

This year’s theme is pride is power, and joy is a riot! All are welcome to join us to in celebration of local queer and trans communities and in solidarity with all marginalized people.

Our vision is a community where people of all sexualities and genders are welcomed, honored, and celebrated.

Petaluma Pride strives for a community in which queer, trans, and gender expansive people are safe, celebrated, well connected with each other and the greater community, and have health outcomes on par with those of their straight and cisgender neighbors.

We want a community in which we have strong partnerships and stand in solidarity with other marginalized people, mindful of power structures and intersectionality, in which quiet voices are amplified, and everyone feels a keen sense of belonging.

We want a community in which privileged people of good will are invited in and supported in becoming effective allies and accomplices.

We believe that a better world is possible and are committed to ushering that world in.

Petaluma Pride’s mission is to build an inclusive and safe community for all queer and trans people in and around Petaluma, California through partnerships, events, and other programming, including an annual pride festival.
