Pink Saturday is a street party held the Saturday night before San Francisco Pride (Gay Pride Day) in San Francisco's Castro district. It coincides with the annual Dyke March.[1]
Attendees are asked to donate money at the gate. Gate donations in 2008 were around $20,000[2]
In 2009, the event's estimated attendance was 100,000 people,[3] and cost $150,000.[4][5]
[edit] 2010 shooting
During the 2010 Pink Saturday, on June 26, 19-year-old Stephen Powell was killed after being shot four times in the chest. Two others were injured after being shot in the leg. A 20-year-old man named Ed Perkins was arrested in connection with the shooting. Perkins knew Powell, but did not know the two others. The shooting was not a hate crime, and was reported as gang-related.[6][7][8]
