LOCATION CHANGE: To keep everyone warm and dry, the festival has been moved indoors at the Atrium, located on 1670 Market St., on the Placer side of the Downtown Promenade.

Festivities include vendors, food, performances, speakers, music, dancing, and more! The family friendly festival is fun for all ages!
The event will kick off with a Pride March October 15 from 12pm-1pm. Meet at the north end of the Downtown Promenade, and show your pride by bringing flags, signs, banners, and being colorful! The march will disperse into the Pride festival in Library Park in Downtown Redding from 1pm-5pm.
