Hello Community Vendor or Organization,
Vacaville People’s Forum would like to extend an invitation to you to join us again this year as a vendor or community table at the 5th Annual Pride in the Park 2025, happening on Sunday, June 22, from 12:00–3:00 PM at Andrews Park (614 E Monte Vista Ave, Vacaville, CA 95688). The event will include performances by Drag Queens and Kings, music by DJ Rene Ortiz, food and more!!
Your past participation has helped make this event a meaningful and vibrant celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community in Vacaville, and we’d love to have you back with us this year. At a time when LGBTQIA+ rights and visibility are facing renewed resistance across the country, coming together as a community is more important than ever. Pride in the Park is about joy, resilience, and solidarity, and your presence helps make that possible.
Last year we received a lot of feedback from vendors about the heat and have reserved both sides of the stage and plan to have all vendors on the cement side of the bandshell stage where there is more shade, while the main event will take place on the grass-side. Please see the application form as you can select if you’d like to be placed on the park-side of the stage or the grass-side. The FaceBook event can be found here.
If you’d like to join us as a vendor and/or contribute as a sponsor to help support the event, please fill out the application here as soon as possible or by Saturday, May 17 so that we can reserve your spot and include your organization in our promotional materials. Space is on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you are unable to join us or would also like to sponsor the event, please see our event Sponsorship options which can also be found here.
For more information, please feel free to reach out at vpf@vvpeoplesforum.org! Thank you for your continued support and we hope to see you there!
In community,

“Considering Matthew Shepard,” first performed in 2016, is a full-concert length modern-day oratorio, which honors and celebrates the life of Matthew Shepard.
The choral work is fused together with different styles. The texts are from poets, including Rumi and Hildegard von Bingen, along with words from Shepard’s own journal. The Chicago Tribune wrote: “Moving among styles ranging from Lutheran hymnody to blues to Broadway, this modern-day Passion will move many listeners to tears even as it reaches beyond tragedy to peace, understanding and forgiveness.”
Bay FC, the Bay Area’s professional women’s soccer team is proud to celebrate the incredible community of the Bay—and we have an upcoming theme night we’d love to invite your community to be a part of: Pride Night (June 7th).

This Pride Month, we invite you to bring the questions you’ve always wanted to ask of the LGBTQIA2S+ community in a respectful, open environment. Whether you’re new to allyship or looking to deepen your understanding, this interactive Q&A session with a representative from Solano Pride Center offers a chance to learn, connect, and grow.
Here’s the mission and vision for Solano Pride Center:
“Solano Pride Center builds community and provides services for Solano County’s LGBTQIA2S+ people and our allies. Solano Pride Center envisions a community where all LGBTQIA2S+ individuals can live freely and authentically.”
Allies play an important role in making that vision a reality.
All are welcome. Come with curiosity, leave with knowledge. Link
