SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — San Diego Pride announced Thursday that Kehlani and Kim Petras will be the headliners for this year’s Pride Festival, held July 19 to 20 in Balboa Park.
Kim Petras is a Grammy Award-winning artist who was the first openly transgender woman to win, and Kehlani is a Grammy-nominated multi-platinum artist as well.
“Our 2025 San Diego Pride Festival will be headlined by two incredible artists whose talent and visibility have changed the game for LGBTQIA+ people around the world,” writes Gardenia Partridge, Entertainment Director at San Diego Pride. “These artists represent what it means to live boldly and unapologetically — and to thrive in the face of adversity.”
This year’s theme is “Unbreakable Pride Unshakeable Power,” which Partridge says speaks to the moment — and the movement.
San Diego Pride features four stages, more than 300 musical acts, food and drinks, exhibits, LGBTQIA+ owned businesses, community resources, and more.
San Diego Pride is a 501c3 non-profit organization and all proceeds from the event will support their year-round philanthropic efforts.
