Happy Friday and almost 4th of July,
We are less than 3 weeks away from the Icon Awards.
This year our recipient is Lambda Legal’s CEO, Kevin Jennings. Please join us on Tuesday, July 21, at 5:30 P.M. as we honor Kevin and the great work he has done throughout his career – and especially now more than ever, the great work that Lambda Legal is doing to push back on the Trump administration. Because of a special arrangement, 100% of the ticket costs go directly to support HRA’s outreach and behavioral Health Services.
Space is limited, so please grab your tickets early here.
It’s been almost one week since Pride 2026, and we have just a few things to say!
Thank you, Santa Fe, for making this year’s PRIDE the biggest ever in Santa Fe’s History of Pride. The crowd size last Saturday was estimated at more than 15,000!
That’s right – read that again – more than 15,000.
We are indebted to all of our sponsors who supported this year’s Pride, especially the City of Santa Fe Arts and Culture Department and Santa Fe County – click here for a list. Without these sponsors assisting us in underwriting the production cost of a festival of this size.
We also want to thank our staff, Alejandro Fernandez, Cielo Rodriquez, Sabra Bull, Marcelle Cady, Jesse Sutterlin, our support staff for set-ups and tear-downs, and we especially want to thank our amazing volunteers and, of course, our new pride mascots – the ‘Oh’So Cute’ burros from the Longears Safe House.
Thank you to all who participated in the parade and joined us at our festival, telling the crowds about the special community works you all do for Santa Fe.
