El Rio, a popular queer bar in the Mission, is hosting its 10th annual Fourth of July dance party, which organizers say will be a celebration of queer liberation and resistance, as well as joy. “Queer as Fourth” takes place on El Rio’s patio from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. and is set to feature three DJs playing hip hop, dance and R&B tracks.

The San Francisco Pride Parade and Pride Celebration will take place this weekend, but some road closures will begin on Thursday. Here's what to know. The parade begins at 10:30 a.m. Sunday at Market and Beale streets, near Embarcadero Plaza, and the Pride Celebration takes place on Saturday and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.

San Francisco Pride Parade marched, danced and skipped down Market Street in an array of music, dancing, a sea of rainbows and costumes to celebrate the “Queer Joy is Resistance” theme of one of the largest LGBTQ celebrations in the country on Sunday.
