The temperature was rising into the 80s and the humidity was making things damp. But Lola Binns smiled broadly while waiting for the music to start at She Fest, the woman-oriented street fair in Hillcrest that kicked off San Diego Pride week festivities Saturday.
“My mood is way up,” said Binns, a San Diego hairdresser. “Last summer was like that horror movie, ‘Quarantine.’ Everyone was scared and wearing masks.”
Optimism was easy to find on the eve of Sunday’s Resilient Community March, which is expected to draw upwards of 10,000 people who will make their way from Balboa Park to Hillcrest during the largest event in Pride week. The march is being held instead of the traditional parade this year.
