The annual Silicon Valley PRIDE Festival was in full swing in downtown San Jose Saturday. This is the 51st year for the two-day event, ending with the grand parade Sunday.<\/p>\n
Organizers say what’s different this year is that there’s not just one concert but hours of music and an entire festival in this plaza.<\/p>\n
The theme this year is flourish and bloom, celebrating strength, resilience, and a vibrant spirit.<\/p>\n
It’s also an important place to connect during a time when some feel under attack.<\/p>\n
DJs Al Tego and Noodles were expected to be performing.<\/p>\n
Attendees can shop at booths, talk to community groups, or just enjoy food and dance. This is designed to be a very family-friendly celebration. Many attendees said they felt it was important San Jose had its own pride festival in addition to what San Francisco offers.<\/p>\n
The celebration does not end on Saturday; on Sunday, the Silicon Valley Pride Parade will start at 10:30 a.m. on Market Street.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The annual Silicon Valley PRIDE Festival was in full swing in downtown San Jose Saturday.
