Contingents gather at 9:30am at Cathcart & Pacific (near Kianti's). Then at 11am the parade moves north on Pacific to Cooper (by the Regal Cinema 9).North of Cooper St., the Santa Cruz Pride street festival will run until 2:00pm on Pacific Ave. (from Cooper to Water). Stop at the main stage at Pacific & Locust (near Bookshop Santa Cruz) and see proclamations from the City and County. Also see Lex, Frootie Flavors and other acts including CHEER San Francisco!
