San Francisco Trans March 2026

Now in its 23rd year, the San Francisco Trans March takes place on Friday the 26th of June 2026 at Dolores Park in the Mission, making it the traditional opening event of San Francisco's Pride weekend and one of the largest trans-specific gatherings anywhere in the world.

The day runs from 11am, with a rally, stage performances and a resources fair at Dolores Park through the afternoon before the march itself steps off at around 5pm, heading through the Mission to Civic Center.

Organized and run primarily by community volunteers, Trans March is a by-us, for-us event with a clear sense of purpose. It is a free, safe and sober event, open to trans people and their allies, and has grown from a few hundred participants at its first edition in 2004 to thousands every year since.

For those making a full weekend of it, the Dyke March follows on Saturday the 27th from the same Dolores Park starting point, and the main San Francisco Pride Parade and Celebration takes place on Sunday the 28th at Civic Center Plaza. Hotels book out well in advance for Pride weekend in San Francisco.
