How does a Castro Pride Tour work?
This tour covers history and culture of the LGBTQ history in the Castro neighborhood, and hits on many milestones.
Here’s just some of what’s covered in this event:
- History of the Castro neighborhood and the LGBTQ community there
- How the Rainbow Flag came to represent the LGBTQ community
- Harvey Milk (the first openly gay person to be elected to a major public office in the US) and the camera shop he ran in the Castro
- Pink Triangle Park & Holocaust Queer Victims Memorial, which are both located in the Castro
In order to transport your team to the streets of the Castro, we play videos of important sites, narrate the history of these spots, and facilitate a discussion about the importance and legacy of the district.
This event is great for history-buffs, culture-lovers, and anyone interested in learning about queer history. This event is one hour as a standalone event, or 45-minutes as part of Pride Fest.

We’ll let one of our recent clients answer this!
For folks who worry about how appropriate LGBT events are, “you would be surprised how professional and thoughtful the team is.
The Pride Party is a perfect balance of educational and entertaining mixed with a little spice of team building that really brought the whole event together.”
-Jandee, Sr. People & Culture Specialist, Kazoo
This should go without saying, but ideally: open-minded teams who are ready to learn, laugh, and stand in solidarity with their queer teammates and acquaintances.
(Self-described “traditional” teams generally don’t prefer this one.)
We ask that you share the theme with your team beforehand, and make it clear that this will be part entertainment, and part educational (LGBT history and the modern movement).
Folks can set festive virtual backgrounds for themselves to get into the rainbow spirit!

Once you send in a request, we’ll reach out within 1 business day to help you via email!
Our booking specialist will answer any questions and assist with scheduling and secure online payment.

On the day of, show up ready for fun, and our host will take it from there!
