We invite you to be a part of the 2025 Fresno Rainbow Pride Parade & Festival, a vibrant day of celebration, community and visibility for LGBTQIA2S+ Pride.

This year is especially meaningful as it marks Fresno State’s first time participating in and hosting a booth at the event. It's a powerful opportunity for us to stand in solidarity with the LGBTQIA2S+ community and visibly demonstrate our commitment to inclusion, belonging and pride.

Here’s how you can get involved:

• Volunteer at the Fresno State booth: Help us represent Fresno State by staffing the booth during the festival. Please take a moment to fill out the Google form to indicate your availability for time slots.

• Join the parade: We’re forming a group of faculty, staff and alumnx to march and roll together in the parade. Show your Pride by wearing your favorite rainbow gear in all colors and styles.

All are welcome to participate. Whether you’re marching, rolling, or volunteering at the booth, your presence makes a difference. For planning purposes, we kindly ask that you complete this form by Tuesday, May 20, but we’re happy to welcome volunteers as they come in.

Date: Saturday, June 7
Time: Parade starts at 10 a.m. (Arrival time is 9 a.m.) We’ll be staging at the northeast corner of Olive and Palm avenues. Festival runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Location: Tower District

Thank you for your continued support and for helping to make Fresno State’s presence at this important event a success. We look forward to celebrating Pride together.
