Trans March 2022: Back…in person


19th Annual San Francisco Trans March on June 24, 2022

The Trans March 2022 Planning Committee is happy to announce that for 2022, we be hosting an “in-person” event. It will be on Friday, June 24, 2022.

Our rights and existence have been more intensely under attack since the election so it’s even more critical that we gather this year to fight back, resist, celebrate and create community.

Let’s make this a huge showing of how powerful and incredible we are!

Trolley Riders

For this year, Trans March is happy to partner with SFMTA who will be providing this year’s trolley.

The SFMTA Trolley is a classic street car that will lead the march and provide seating for our elders and folks who may need assistance. Sorry, the trolley is not wheelchair accessible.

We are aware of the attacks on Pride celebrations recently and our safety team members will be on site to monitor and respond.
