Held in the heart of midtown Sacramento’s Gay and Lesbian Community, known as "Lavendar Heights", our hope this year is to draw even more people than last year’s record turnout! The core purpose of Rainbow Festival is twofold: To raise money for charities that have significant importance to the Lesbian and Gay Community and to raise public awareness of those charities; to create a celebration of our Pride that is pure fun!

THE RAINBOW FESTIVAL strives to make the community aware of the many services provided by the Sacramento Gay and Lesbian Community Center . This organization provides a plethora of services to Greater Sacramento, including Youth Outreach and Support programs, Issues-oriented meetings and social functions, and Information exchange. As the available government funding continues to dwindle, the needs of the Lesbian and Gay Community continue to grow. We absolutely need representation in our community – this representation is the Lambda Community Center. We must help this outstanding organization as it fights to meet these needs.

The success of the Rainbow Festival is due largely to an atmosphere of merriment and revelry, combined with pride in ourselves and our community. The event is an excellent outlet for politically-oriented groups as well as those concerned with pure fun and leisure. Feedback from participants has included everything from successful voter registration and membership drives to merchandise sales to simply having a great time.
