Money from the admissions helps us pay the bills, from the stages, performers, fencing, port-a-potties, sound, security guards, Police Officers and everything in between. Likewise, the Children’s admission helps us cover the cost of the Family & Children's Garden so families may enjoy all of the many activities at NO additional cost.

Part of your admissions goes toward Oakland Pride’s Community Partners Program, through which we have been able to give back nearly $50,000 to LGBTQ friendly organizations and charities in the community since 2010.
