ABCey Presents: 10 Tips to Thrive at Pride!

Pride is finally here! ABCey has a list of 10 tips that will help you survive and make the best out of this weekend full of love and festivities!

1. Sun Protection

Pride Sunglasses

Afternoons in our foggy city may be cool, but be sure to put on some sun protection (sunscreen, lip balm, sunglasses) before you leave the house to avoid some nasty sun burns!

2. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Ombré Pride Hydroflasks

We may not even know it, but it’s easy to become dehydrated when we spend the day dancing and keeping up with our favorite floats at Pride! Don’t forget to bring your own Hydro Flask water bottle to save a few bucks and to stay well-hydrated.

3. Bring Ca$h

Pride Dollar

Many local vendors will be at Pride, so be sure to bring some cash to support your LGBTQ-friendly businesses in case they don’t accept credit cards!

4. Phone Charger

Rainbow Pride Portable Charger

You’re going to be taking pictures and videos all day, so make sure you bring a portable charger so that you don’t run out of juice. Snap away!

5. Go Hands FreeRainbow Bags

You won’t worry about losing your phone or any of your free Pride swag when you put it in a cute bag!

6. Comfortable Shoes

Pride Gucci Shoes

We all have those super shoes that we’re dying to wear out, but opt for your comfiest shoes because you’ll be on your feet all day!

7. Add Some Rainbows!

Pride Rainbow Outfits

What Pride outfit is complete without rainbows? Whether it’s on an umbrella or on your socks, add a rainbow for a little more fun!

8. Rainbow GlitterPride Rainbow Glitter

If you don’t have the perfect outfit for Pride yet, don’t worry! Rainbow glitter is the ultimate makeshift outfit! Cover yourself in glitter and head out to the parade! What else could you possibly need?!

9. Pride Balloons

Pride Balloons

What’s more fun than balloons? Use rainbow balloons to accessorize your outfit or to just carry around the parade!

10. Bring Your Friends!

Friends make any event better! Round up all your closest friends to eat amazing food and to make memories you’ll talk about for years!
