PROCLAMATION
Recognizing June 2026 as LGBTQ+ Pride Month and Celebrating Napa Pride 2026 WHEREAS, for more than two decades, Napa Pride has served as a cornerstone of visibility, celebration, and connection for LGBTQ+ people in the City of Napa, fostering a vibrant and inclusive community rooted in resilience, care, and belonging; and WHEREAS, LGBTQ+ Pride commemorates a history of courage and collective action, honoring those who have advocated for dignity, equality, and the right to live openly and authentically; and WHEREAS, Napa Pride 2026, taking place June 7–20, 2026, with the theme “Love Out Loud,” is both a celebration and a declaration – encouraging individuals and communities to show up visibly, support one another, and create spaces where LGBTQ+ people, families, and allies can experience joy, safety, and belonging together; and WHEREAS, Napa Pride 2026 will feature a series of inclusive, community-centered events including the Opening Tea Dance, Pride Pet Parade, and Day of Solidarity, alongside a full month of cultural programming that uplifts LGBTQ+ voices, creativity, and connection across generations; and WHEREAS, at a time when LGBTQ+ communities across the country continue to face discrimination, erasure, and inequities, Pride serves as an essential affirmation that LGBTQ+ people belong – in every neighborhood, workplace, and public space – openly and without fear; and WHEREAS, Napa Pride reflects the shared values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and community connection that strengthen the social fabric of the City of Napa.
