Monterey Peninsula Pride hosts events throughout the year to help our community grow, learn, and have fun. Come out and connect with us!
Monterey Peninsula Virtual Pride 2.0
Join Monterey Peninsula and neighboring regional pride organizations for our second virtual pride for 2021!
“We felt there has been too much uncertainty with the COVID-19 pandemic and we want to make sure our participants will be safe. As the restrictions begin to lift we plan on having smaller events such as picnics, socials, and movie nights,” says Christine Miller, Chair Pride Planning Committee.
