Why is San Diego's Pride in July?
In San Diego, Pride is celebrated in July. The reason for this – the weather. During the month of June, the forecast includes mostly gray skies and chilly weather, which has become known as "June Gloom" to those that live in America’s Finest City. In 1990, the weather turned wet and San Diego’s Pride celebration was nearly rained out. It was then decided to leave the “gloom” behind for the warmer month of July.
