SUMMER OF PRIDE CONTINUES!
We are so grateful for the immense support that we received from all of our community partners who gave us numerous ways to celebrate pride in June!
Pacific Pride Foundation was honored through shopping experiences, dining, window displays, movie nights, and so much more. We are so lucky to live in such an inclusive community! You can view our sponsors here, and see what's next as we continue through the Summer of Pride.

Registration and a one-on-one via Zoom between the youth registering and a PPF staff member are required prior to arrival. Register here!
*18 year olds must still be enrolled in high school to participate.

We couldn't be more excited to announce that our treasured series, Sunset @ the Canary, is back! We were able to line up three sessions for this summer - July 21, August 25, and September 22. What better way to celebrate Summer of Pride than with those unforgettable, Santa Barbara skyline views.
We'll be on the rooftop from 6 PM to 8 PM, with music from our favorite DJ, Darla Bea. Special thanks to the Kimpton Canary for donating the space to us. As always, this event is free to our LGBTQ+ community and allies. We can't wait to see you in person!
