San Jose's Plaza de Cesar Chavez was somewhat empty Friday morning, but pretty soon Silicon Valley Pride is going to make it look vibrant and festive.
"We're very excited. Our theme this year is 'Live Out Proud,'" said Saldy Suriben, who leads Silicon Valley Pride's marketing efforts, "Basically, it means live your authentic self."
Robin S., the singer behind the classic hit "Show Me Love," is a headliner along with a list of other performers. "Events like Pride, all the concerts that we have coming up, are just adding to the vibrancy in downtown enormously," said Alex Stettinski, CEO of the SJ Downtown Association, "Downtown literally is on fire right now."
