A streaming soundtrack will also be available to guide and entertain parade-goers as they make their way through the route. Attendees will drive along the parade route and experience the excitement and community of Pride through the stationary displays and celebrations that organizations and individual partipants will display along the route. The parade event acknowledges and adapts to Covid-19 safety and social distancing regulations by creating a new drive-through experience in the Graton Resort & Casino’s parking lot. A year later, Sonoma County Pride returns for in-person celebrations with the help of Graton Resort & Casino, which is joining the festivities as Annual Title Sponsor of this year’s Pride celebrations and hosting this year’s re-imagined “Beyond the Rainbow Drive-Through Parade” on Saturday, June 5. Last summer, the Covid-19 pandemic forced the Sonoma County Pride Board of Directors to cancel the 2020 Pride Festival & Parade.
Each June, Sonoma County Pride gathers in locales like the Russian River Valley and downtown Santa Rosa for massive, celebratory festivals filled with parades, dance parties and other fun.
