Countdown to Pride Saturday
Wednesday, May 27, 2026 • Operational Briefing
This official operational hub hosts the safety guidelines, logistics, schedules, and maps for the SF Pride 2026 All Agency Planning Meeting. Compiled for police, emergency services, and city agencies.
Found children will be placed in our Childcare area inside Bill Graham Civic Auditorium (BGCA).
Pride staff will immediately notify Operations Dispatch when a child is found or when a parent/guardian is searching for a child. Children not reunited with their families after 7:00 PM each day will be escorted directly to the SFPD Command.
The main information booth is located in Fulton Plaza and is staffed by SF Pride ambassadors. The booth features an ASL interpreter and a representative from our accessibility (A11y) team.
