💜 THERE IS NO ONE WAY TO COME OUT.

For some, coming out is a joyful declaration. For others, it's a quiet conversation, a moment of self-discovery, or a journey still unfolding.

On National Coming Out Day, we honor every version of that journey.

To those living their truth, we celebrate you. To those still discovering who they are, we see you. And to those who aren't ready, or for whom coming out may not be safe, we stand with you.

Your story. Your pace. Your journey.

At Pacific Pride Foundation, we believe everyone deserves the freedom to be themselves and a community where they feel seen, supported, and loved.

Wherever you are in your journey, you belong here. 🌈



NO HAY UNA SOLA MANERA DE SALIR DEL CLÓSET.

Para algunas personas, salir del clóset es una declaración llena de alegría. Para otras, es una conversación íntima, un momento de autodescubrimiento o un camino que aún están recorriendo.

Hoy, en el Día Nacional para Salir del Clóset, honramos cada una de esas experiencias.

A quienes viven su verdad, les celebramos. A quienes aún están descubriendo quiénes son, les vemos. Y a quienes todavía no están listos, o no se sienten seguros para hacerlo, les acompañamos.

Tu historia. A tu ritmo. A tu manera.

En Pacific Pride Foundation, creemos que todas las personas merecen la libertad de ser quienes son y una comunidad donde se sientan vistas, apoyadas y queridas.

Sin importar en qué etapa de tu camino te encuentres, aquí hay un lugar para ti. 🌈

NUESTRA COMUNIDAD. NUESTRAS VOCES. 

As Latinx Heritage Month continues, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the people, stories, cultures, and lived experiences that help shape our community—and our own PPF family.

From Mexican to Puerto Rican roots and the joy of folklórico, to q***r and trans identity, family, belonging, and solidarity across communities, we invited members of our team to share what culture and community mean to them.

Their words remind us that there is no single way to be Latino, q***r, trans, an ally, or part of this community. Our experiences are uniquely our own, yet our stories are deeply connected.

This Latinx Heritage Month, we celebrate the voices within our team and across the Central Coast who continue to live boldly, preserve culture, break barriers, create joy, and make space for those coming next.

Nuestra comunidad. Nuestras voces. Nuestras historias.
Our community. Our voices. Our stories.

NUESTRA COMUNIDAD. NUESTRAS VOCES. 

Mientras continúa el Mes de la Herencia Latinx, nos tomamos un momento para celebrar a las personas, historias, culturas y experiencias que dan forma a nuestra comunidad y a nuestra propia familia de PPF.

Desde nuestras raíces puertorriqueñas y la alegría del folklórico, hasta nuestras identidades q***r y trans, la familia, el sentido de pertenencia y la solidaridad entre comunidades, invitamos a miembros de nuestro equipo a compartir lo que la cultura y la comunidad significan para ellos.

Sus palabras nos recuerdan que no existe una sola manera de ser latino, q***r, trans, aliado o parte de esta comunidad. Nuestras experiencias son únicas, pero nuestras historias están profundamente conectadas.

Este Mes de la Herencia Latinx, celebramos las voces de nuestro equipo y de toda la Costa Central que continúan viviendo con orgullo, preservando nuestra cultura, rompiendo barreras, creando alegría y abriendo camino para quienes vienen después.

Nuestra comunidad. Nuestras voces. Nuestras historias.

We’re closing out an incredible season of Sunset at the Canary, and we want to celebrate it with YOU!

Join Pacific Pride Foundation for our final rooftop gathering of the season as we fill the Canary with music, dancing, community, and plenty of Q***R JOY.

Music by Lily Hernandez , bringing the beats and keeping us dancing as the sun goes down over Santa Barbara.

This season has been about so much more than a party. It’s been about creating space to gather, connect, celebrate who we are, and experience joy together. Thank you to everyone who joined us on the rooftop and helped make each Sunset at the Canary so special.

So grab your friends, bring your best rooftop energy, and come help us send off the season the only way we know how — together and on the dance floor.

Wednesday, September 23 | 6pm-8pm
Kimpton Canary Hotel Rooftop

Come for the view. Stay for the vibe.
Let’s close out the season with Q***R JOY!

UN ÚLTIMO ATARDECER. UN BAILE MÁS.

Estamos cerrando una temporada increíble de Sunset at the Canary, ¡y queremos celebrarla CONTIGO!

Acompaña a Pacific Pride Foundation en nuestro último encuentro en la azotea de la temporada, donde celebraremos con música, baile, comunidad y muchísima ALEGRÍA Q***R.

Con música de Lily Hernandez, trayendo los mejores ritmos para mantenernos bailando mientras el sol se pone sobre Santa Bárbara.

Esta temporada ha sido mucho más que una fiesta. Ha sido una oportunidad para crear un espacio donde podemos reunirnos, conectar, celebrar quienes somos y compartir nuestra alegría. Gracias a todas las personas que nos acompañaron y ayudaron a hacer de cada Sunset at the Canary algo tan especial.

Así que reúne a tus amistades, trae tu mejor energía y acompáñanos a despedir la temporada de la mejor manera que sabemos hacerlo: juntxs y en la pista de baile.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE HIV MOVEMENT? 🔥

Pacific Pride Foundation and Executive Director Julio C. Roman are proud to present a candid, out-of-the-box fireside conversation at the 2026 United States Conference on HIV/AIDS:

THE FUTURE OF THE MOVEMENT: INNOVATION, URGENCY & WHAT’S NEXT
This will not be your typical workshop. It is a real-time conversation about where the HIV movement stands, what this unprecedented moment requires from us, and how we prepare the next generation for the fights—and victories—ahead.

Our featured speakers:

Julio C. Roman
Author and Executive Director of Pacific Pride Foundation
Julio will explore executive leadership in this new era, what our organizations and leaders must do differently, and how we build a pipeline of bold, prepared leaders ready to carry the movement forward.

Monroe Alise
Actress, Storyteller and Activist
Monroe will speak about storytelling today, the power of social media, and how authentic stories can shift public narratives, challenge stigma, reach new audiences and create lasting impact.

Kevin Chadwin Davis
Member, Community Advisory Group, American Academy of HIV Medicine
Kevin will discuss the current state of HIV prevention, the persistence of stigma and how communities are navigating a public-health and political landscape unlike anything we have seen before.

And holding it all together is our fireside chat host:

Vivian Storm
Donor Relations Manager, Pacific Pride Foundation
Vivian will bring the humor, energy and thoughtful questions for a conversation that promises to be funny, informative, engaging—and unforgettable.

Come ready to engage, learn and share. Your voice belongs in this conversation because the future of the movement will not be determined by the people onstage alone. It will be shaped by all of us.

THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN WE MOVE TOGETHER.

We danced. We celebrated. We remembered.

We saw generations come together. Families and chosen families celebrate side by side. Old friends reconnect and new connections begin.

We took up space.

And most importantly, we experienced the freedom to simply BE—fully, proudly, joyfully, and unapologetically.

That feeling is bigger than one day in the park. That is Pride. That is community. That is what we created together.

And we’re carrying it with us long after the festival gates have closed.
We can’t wait to share all the amazing content with you!

THANK YOU FOR MAKING WAVES WITH US.

To every performer, volunteer, vendor, sponsor, community partner, family, friend, ally—and every single person who stepped onto that field—thank you.

Pacific Pride Festival belongs to all of us, and you made this celebration what it was.

We have so many incredible moments still to share, and this is only the beginning.

A heartfelt thank you to Esteban Leyva for documenting Pride with such authenticity and capturing not only what the day looked like, but what it felt like.

And to ELEVATE Cinematic Aerial Videography thank you for capturing our celebration in motion and preserving the energy, performances, people, and Q***r joy of an unforgettable day.

Thank you all!
There are many more visual waves to come!
