Built This City
An SF Pride Variety Spectacular celebrating 50 years of queer San Francisco activism, art, and entertainment.
The Resistance Is Made of Art & Celebration
San Francisco Pride and Peaches Christ Productions invite you to join us for the official kickoff to Pride 2026. We're taking over the historic Castro Theatre for an unforgettable variety spectacular as bold, brilliant, and beautifully queer as this city has always been.
Every ticket purchase is more than a seat — it is a direct investment in San Francisco Pride's year-round 501(c)3 mission to educate the world, commemorate our heritage, celebrate our culture, and advance liberation for all.
