Getting There
Transit and Bicycles
Pride is easy to get to without a car!
- Light Rail: Let our Pride sponsor Regional Transit drop you off right at our front door — the Capitol Mall stops are right here!
- Amtrak: The Sacramento Amtrak station is only a few blocks from the festival. Exit the station on 5th Street and walk south three blocks to our entrance gate.
- Bicycle: We will have a free bike corral area near the 7th Street entrance. Bring your own lock.

More things to know
- Please leave your pets at home. Large crowds and hot streets aren’t great places for even the best behaved dog in the world. Pride is really more of a people event.
- Please avoid bringing large coolers into Pride. We have lots of food and beverage – at reasonable prices. Coolers are a problem in large crowds.
