Join us for San Mateo County's Progress Pride Flag-Raising taking place on Thursday, June 1st at 10:00am in the courtyard at 400 County Center.

LGBTQ+ visibility is critical to members of our community feeling included in public spaces. We are celebrating our sixth flag-raising ceremony at County Center and will have President of the Board Dave Pine and the co-chairs of the LGBTQ Commission to mark this special occasion.
