Kiesza headlines the Sonoma County Pride 2024 Festival Main StageGraton Resort & Casino‘s Sonoma County Pride is proud to return to Courthouse Square for the 39th Annual Pride Festival, presented by Keysight Technologies, Sonoma County Family YMCA and Deep Eddy Vodka. Join us in celebrating the 39th annual Pride Parade & Festival, paying tribute to our local “Queeroes.” This event is not only for members of the LGBTQ+ community but for allies and supporters alike. It’s a lively, joyous gathering that welcomes peoples from all walks of life as we honor the extraordinary contributions, resilience, and achievements of Queer individuals in our community. This year’s mainstage promises to be an unforgettable experience you don’t want to miss! KIESZAKiesza burst onto the music scene in 2014 with her passionate hit “Hideaway”, which has garnered over a billion streams and earned a spot on multiple best-of-decade lists. Her debut studio album, “Sound Of A Woman”, topped charts worldwide and sold over a million units. Recognized by top-tier musicians, Kiesza collaborated with artists such as Skrillex, Diplo, Duran Duran, and Joey Bada$$, solidifying her place in the industry. Not limited to music, Kiesza has also made her mark in the fashion world, representing esteemed brands like Fendi and Maison Birks. After a life-altering car accident forced her into a two-year hiatus, Kiesza returned as an independent artist, launching her own label, Zebra Spirit Tribe. With her 2020 sophomore album “Crave” receiving critical acclaim, Kiesza continues to collaborate with esteemed artists like deadmau5, Tommy Trash, and Lindsey Stirling. In 2024, she celebrates the 10-year anniversary of “Hideaway” with a new project titled “Dancing and Crying: Vol 1”, which blends her folk roots with captivating dance music. RêveRêve Montreal-born and Toronto-based singer-songwriter Briannah Donolo, known as Rêve, gained attention after her performance of the national anthem at a Canadiens de Montréal game went viral. Despite offers to transform her into the perfect pop star, she embraced her imperfections, adopting the moniker “Rêve” and delving into the club scene. Inspired by her nights dancing to dance music, Rêve began crafting honest songs that combined playful pop and R&B elements with 90s Euro sound. Despite the challenges of the global pandemic, Rêve connected with production duo Banx & Ranx, leading to a creative turning point in her career. Now signed to Universal Music Canada and Astralwerks, Rêve has gained over 110 million global streams, achieving a #1 US Dance radio hit with “Whitney” and seeing her track “CTRL + ALT + DEL” go platinum in under eight months. With recognition from the JUNO Awards and collaborations with notable artists, Rêve’s dance-pop artistry continues to captivate audiences worldwide. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Approximately 75 miles north of San Francisco lies Guerneville, the largest town along the Russian River (population 3,500).
Within the three block square downtown, you’ll find restaurants, shops, taverns, a fully stocked Safeway supermarket and a health food store. A block or two off the main road, you’ll find a handful or resorts that cater specifically to gay clientele.
Transportation: To get to Guerneville, having a car is helpful. You can use public transportation, but it’s not easy or convenient. Once you are at ‘the River’ (as it is also known) you don’t necessarily need a car, but having one will help you explore the stunningly beautiful countryside. Rent a bicycle in town (available seasonally), but be aware that much of the terrain is very hilly and the roads are narrow. Visit the “how to get there” page for detailed instructions for driving or taking public transportation.

Sonoma County Pride Annual Flag-raising Happens May 31 at Courthouse Square
Please join us (or tune in to our livestream) as Sonoma County Pride kicks off Pride Month by raising the Pride Flag on top of the Rosenberg Building at the corner of Mendocino Ave & 4th St. This year, we are proud to announce that the flag-raising ceremony will take place on May 31 at 11 am.
Last year, we reached out to the community for support in raising funds for the flag, and we were overwhelmed by the response. We are immensely grateful for your contributions as we continue this important tradition.
A brief history of the Pride flag: The Pride flag was first introduced in 1978 by Gilbert Baker, who was approached by the San Francisco Pride committee to create a symbol that represented their fight for equal rights. After careful consideration, Baker chose the rainbow as a representation of diversity and acceptance. Since then, the rainbow flag has become a globally recognized symbol for the LGBTQ+ rights movement, symbolizing love, tolerance, and peace.
In 2021, an addition was made to the original Pride flag to create the Intersex Inclusive Progress Pride Flag. This new design, created by Valentino Vecchietti, incorporates a purple circle superimposed over a yellow triangle within the chevron on the left side of the flag. This addition is an homage to the 2013 intersex flag designed by Morgan Carpenter, an Australian bioethicist and researcher.
Intersex columnist and media personality Valentino Vecchietti designed a new rendition of the rainbow Pride flag in 2021. The flag was officially unveiled by the advocacy group Intersex Equality Rights UK in late May 2021 but has since spread virally on social media.
In Vecchietti’s rendition, a purple circle superimposed over a yellow triangle has been added to the chevron on the left half of Quasar’s design — an homage to the popular 2013 intersex flag designed by Australian bioethicist and researcher Morgan Carpenter.
Commemorate International Workers Day May 1 with a Rally & March to Demand Rights for Immigrants and All Working People
On Wednesday, May 1, at 3 pm, hundreds of Sonoma County community members, including many from the local migrant communities, will commemorate International Workers Day by marching for “Immigrant Rights Are Human Rights.”
Marchers will demand that the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors proactively advocate for a Path To Citizenship policy in Congress and also support a county ordinance which would prohibit any collaboration or information sharing between the Sonoma County Sheriff and Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE).
At 3 pm, there will be a Rally in front of the Sheriff’s Office, 2796 Ventura Ave, Santa Rosa. Then at 3:30 pm a March will head to the Board of Supervisors, 575 Administration
Dr., Santa Rosa. (Route details will be available closer to the march date.)
At 4 pm the march will continue to Mendocino Avenue, downtown to Courthouse Square for a rally with music and community organizers speaking about the demands for justice and rights for immigrants, and all working people. The focus for this year’s May 1st event will be on the following demands:
- Sonoma County must aggressively advocate for the Registry Bill (HR1511), which allows undocumented migrants living in the US the right to apply for legal permanent residency if they live in the country for at least seven years.
- Sonoma County must pass a Sanctuary Ordinance, which prohibits collaboration between the Sheriff and ICE.
- Sonoma County must affirm the humane treatment of migrants, including in the areas of wage theft and language justice.
- Honor the rights of all workers everywhere in the county.
- Sonoma County must support a permanent ceasefire in Palestine.
Organized by the May 1st Coalition. Contact: Luis Bravo, Comité VIDA, 707-294-5005, or Renee Saucedo, ALMAS LIBRES/Raizes Collective, 707-273-2974 . Facebook page
