This parade started small years ago, with a few dozen people taking part. Now, it stretches more than a mile with 105 entries.
Sonoma County Pride kicked off Saturday with a parade through downtown Santa Rosa. It's the largest gathering yet, with thousands of people taking part in celebrating equality, love and inclusion.
"Pride is about celebrating community, everybody coming together, celebrating differences, similarities, being present," said Luis Santos-Flores from Santa Rosa. "Pride overall means we can be in a safe place and be with our love ones," said Sonoma County Pride President Christopher Kren-Mora.
