THE EVENT MOVES FROM LOCATION TO LOCATION WITHIN ONE MILE.
THAT’S WHY IT’S CALLED A “WALK-ABOUT!”

8am-10am
GAY CAR & MOTORCYCLE SHOW

To start our engines, Altadena’s “Cars & Coffee” and “No EV” groups of post-fire car lovers will host a queerified car show complete with two-wheelers RIGHT across the street before our opening ceremonies. Come for the show, stay for the event. Specifically, happening at 735 E Altadena Dr.

10am-11am
OPENING CEREMONY, MARCH & YEAR PHOTO IN FRONT OF THE ALTADENA MURAL

As we’ve done for five years now. Our opening ceremonies will begin at 10am at the Altadena Community Center. We will then march together amongst hundreds down our main street (Lake) to our famous Altadena mural at Grocery Outlet where we will take an increasingly impressive group photo! A symbok of resilience for our fire-impacted town. The marching route will be lines with tables, fun freebies and snacks by many of our surviving and affirming businesses.

11am-11:30am
“Restore! Resist! ¡Realizar!”
From PRIDE March to Anti-ICE Human Chain!

Surprise! The theme of this year is showing SOLIDARITY with our Latinx and Immigrant communities. Altadena is not only 24% queer, we are 30% Latino and their community has been fighting two crises at once as fire survivors who lost their homes AND targets of violent racial profiling by ICE. When we start our march down Lake right after opening ceremonies, we will quickly take our annual picture at the mural and then it will instantly turn into a human chain as we connect our half of the human-chain with the other half lining up along Woodbury Rd where they will meet us at where Woodbury meets Lake! With enough of us, it will be three miles long! Many other organizations are participating! Altadena Pride is one of them!

“Restore! Resist! ¡Realizar!”
It means Restore [our burned community], Resist [all forms of persecution] and ¡Realizar! [make it happen!]

9AM-1PM
PASADENA HUMANE SOCIETY RV FOR PET VACCINATIONS

Our local Pasadena Humane Society will be behind our community center offering free vaccinations for all our bio-pups and pussy cats! With this said, be aware when you suit up that you may be some of our four legged reflections! Efforts will be made to make sure their leashed and on non-intersectioning walking paths.

ALL DAY
COLD HEADLESS TENT-LOUNGE WITH AC, SNACKS AND DRINKS & CRITTER CARE KART

For our Furries, this is our main focus to make sure all our suited fuzz-butts feel safe and comfortable. A cold air-conditioned utility tent, in the shade with tons of snacks, water and drinks inside. All next to our entertainment and main stage. We’ll also have a dedicated roaming kart for cold hydration and electrolytes! We’re planning for a potentially hot day on June 13th. Regardless, be prepared for heat if you want to roam!

12:30pm-1pm
FURRIES & PUPS.. IN CHURCH?

Well.. we actually lost all our churches in the fire. However around 11:30am, all our LGBTQ+ affirming congregations and spiritual leaders from a wide array of religions and forms non-belief will be inviting a truly all-welcoming crowd of queers and strange seekers to an inter-faith gathering immediately after our march and human chain at the CORE Hub center.
