San Francisco's First Women Only Pride Weekend

San Francisco is known for one of the largest Gay Pride events in the US, but never before has their been a SF Pride weekend full of events geared exclusively for lesbians. But all that changes this years. Well known lesbian event promoters Curve Magazine and Olivia Travel have created EDEN, the first ever San Francisco Pride weekend dedicated to events for lesbians and their allies.

"There are destination parties for lesbians all over the country at different times of the year," says Franco Stevens, the publisher of Curve. "But there's never been one in San Francisco during Pride Weekend, which just seemed strange. In a collaborative exchange of ideas between the Bay Areas' best lesbian event promoters, Olivia Travel and us, we worked together to create EDEN, and my guess is San Francisco Pride will never quite be the same."

Assisting in celebration for this ground-breaking lesbian Pride weekend event are LOGO's Julie Goldman, cast members of The Real L Word of Los Angeles and local DJs . Curve, Movement Productions, Olivia Travel, BioBlue Events, FullCircle Events and legendary hotel Parc55 will also be helping out to make this a truly unforgettable first lesbian Pride weekend. There will be four days of official partying planned (June 24-28, 2010).
