To start with the Pride month celebrations in Redwood City, the city will have the raising of the Rainbow Flag, which is a symbol of the fight for LGBTTTIQ+ rights and which seeks to make visible each of the groups that represent it.
Join the celebration this Wednesday, May 31 at 5:30 p.m. at Courthouse Plaza, located at 2200 Broadway Street in Redwood City.
The welcome and opening remarks will be given by Mayor Jeff Gee and Dana Johnson, LGBTQ+ Commissioner, Co-Chair of the PRIDE Initiative and Board Member of the CoastPride Center for San Mateo County, who will share their thoughts on this iconic celebration.

During the event, “Alex is a Queen”, a captivating short film that explores the journey of self-discovery and self-expression, will be premiered and launched. The film will be presented by Tony Gapastione, director of the mini film.
In turn, there will be a screening of the film "Kinky Boots", a classic of British cinema that presents a moving story that celebrates diversity, acceptance and the power to embrace the true self.
