San Francisco will hold a limited number of in-person events in June to celebrate LGBT Pride.
Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, last year's parade and festival was canceled. Other events celebrating Pride were held online.
While millions of Americans are getting vaccinated daily, the United States is not yet out of the woods and cases have climbed nationwide in recent weeks.
The Board of Directors and staff of the San Francisco LGBT Pride Parade and Celebration announced last week that in-person events will take place in June.
"After a full year of physical distancing and other restrictions, the Bay Area's LGBTQ+ communities will once again be able to gather in limited, in-person events while strictly adhering to current safety protocols," the organization said in a press release.
