Stronger, Prouder, and So Grateful for You 🏳️‍🌈

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for our Annual Pride BBQ Festival and helped make this year’s celebration so special! It was wonderful to welcome familiar faces and new friends alike to the lawn for an afternoon filled with community, laughter, and PRIDE.

Your enthusiasm and support are what make this event possible and help it grow year after year. Help us keep the celebration growing by sharing the Pride BBQ Festival with your friends and family—we can’t wait to make next year even bigger, brighter, and more colorful!

And while the Pride BBQ Festival may be over for another year, there’s still plenty more to enjoy at Conejo Gardens. Join us throughout the year for our outdoor CineArts Festival under the stars, gather around the table for our cozy Friendsgiving Feast in November, and celebrate the magic of the season with us at HO HO HOlidays in December.

Until we gather again, stay safe, stay kind, and always be PROUD!

Bringing people together to learn, support, and celebrate our differences.
