Many say they will still gather at Dolores Park on Saturday, despite the annual Dyke March not taking place this year.Officials with SF Pride confirmed to ABC7 News the event will not take place, but the group Dykes on Bikes will still be participating in the Parade."We did also just hear the Dyke March, which is typically on Saturday, has disbanded for now," said Ngyuen Pham, the President of the SF Pride Board of Directors.
The march that honors women of the LGBTQ+ community, typically starts with a large gathering at Dolores Park and then people would take to the streets. "It is for sure a bummer," said San Francisco resident Haze Fry, who goes to the march every year. "I think that with the thriving queer community we have in San Francisco I would hope that there would more of an official thing."
ABC7 News did reach out to the Dyke March organizers for more details on the cancelation and we are waiting to hear back. Many say they will still gather at Dolores Park on Saturday, despite the march being canceled."We are all still going to show up to the park on Saturday," said San Francisco resident Skji Conklin. "That is what me and my friend were just talking about was how early to get here to get the blanket spots. It is going to a wonderful rainbow madhouse for sure.
