As Sacramento prepares to celebrate diversity and community, the annual Pride festivities promise to transform the city into a vibrant hub of color and camaraderie this weekend, June 14-15. According to the Sacramento City Express, the Sacramento LGBT Community Center is hosting the event that will feature a two-day festival and a march that threads through the heart of the city.
The festival is set to commence on the Capitol Mall, which will be abuzz with activity from Saturday to Sunday. Those planning to attend should take note of street closures that started on Wednesday, at 5 p.m., when organizers began to meticulously set up for the weekend's events. To quickly get around town, revelers can look forward to riding Sacramento Regional Transit (SacRT) for free on Sunday, with a simple presentation of a printed flyer or a screenshot, as reported by the Sacramento City Express.
For those interested in the march taking place on June 15, there will be a series of rolling closures to accommodate participants. The procession will start at Southside Park, making its way through several key streets before culminating at Capitol Mall, as per the Sacramento City Express.
Attendees can expect roadblocks along Capitol Mall from 3rd to 7th streets, as well as on adjacent thoroughfares. These shutdowns are anticipated to last until June 16 at 8 a.m., as reported by Sacramento City Express. Local businesses and commuters may need to plan ahead to avoid expected traffic delays, as several roads including 4th, 5th, and 6th Streets from L Street to Capitol Mall, will be impacted by the festival setup and celebrations.

The free SacRT rides extend from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday, which accordingly would enable the Pride attendants to easily navigate the festivities without the worry of transportation costs.
