The ASUCD Pride Festival will take place at the Memorial Union Quad with festivities split up between four major zones on the Quad: Advocacy & Education, Carnival, Makerspace, and Performances. As shown in the image below, under the "West Quad" label, there is Advocacy & Education (top left corner) and Carnival (bottom left corner). Under the "East Quad" label, there is Makerspace (top right corner) and Performances (bottom right corner).
The Advocacy & Education zone is located in the Northwest Quad and features a Destress & Wellness space, Pride teach-ins, Pride Unit tabling, a Pride check-in desk for volunteers, and resource tabling & activities. The image to the right shows the Destress & Wellness space in the upper left corner of this zone and the Pride Unit tabling in the upper right corner of this zone. The Pride teach-ins will take place in between these booths. The Pride check-in desk for volunteers is located south of the Destress & Wellness space, along the West edge of the MU Quad. Resource tabling & activities will take place in the remainder of the Advocacy & Education zone, south of the Pride teach-ins and Pride Unit tabling and east of the Pride check-in desk.
The Destress & Wellness space is a few shaded booths intended to offer attendees a quieter, less stimulating space at Pride Festival. There will be shaded places to sit, sun protection, relaxing activities, and other resources to help ensure the wellbeing of festival attendees. The Pride teach-ins are a series of casual teach-ins highlighting work specializing in the intersection of communities of color and queer identities. Resource tabling & activities comprise the largest portion of the Advocacy & Education zone and feature organizations providing free resources and sharing about how their work overlaps with the LGBTQ+ community.
The Carnival zone is located in the Southwest Quad and features Sol at West Village, free Poppi sampling, and other local vendor & organization tabling. As seen in the image on the right, the upper edge of this zone will have Sol at West Village tabling on the right side and the free Poppi sampling on the left side. South of these booths will be vendor & organization tabling.
The Carnival zone hosts a variety of local vendors, Davis organizations, and campus-affiliated groups tabling. The current list of vendors and organizations to be tabling in this space is as follows: UC Davis Redwood SEED Scholars Program, ThinkingInSpace, Khrizza’s Collective, Wildflower Scents, Outdoor Crew at UC Davis, Mohbat, Nat’s Closet, Students for Reproductive Freedom at UCD, The Hyacinthe House, SteelWood Designs, Nice Cans Candle Co., Davis Period, APIQ - Asian Pacific Islander Queers, Charmed Creations By Sophia, Seahorse Shades Art, TGNC United, Aspec Club, Boheme Clothing & Gifts, and Stitch n Stem Studio.
The Makerspace zone is located in the Northeast Quad and has a photo booth, Gender Affirming Closet, Art Gallery, and a craft & activity space. The image on the right shows the photo booth in the upper left corner of this zone and the art gallery in the upper right corner of this zone. The gender affirming closet will take place in between these spaces. The craft & activity space is located south of these aforementioned booths.
The Gender Affirming Closet is a collection of secondhand clothes available to attendees to take for free and customize. The festival's Gender Affirming Closet is intended to help attendees express themselves through clothing and accessories that make them comfortable and best reflect their sense of self. The Art Gallery is an open-air exhibition displaying works created and submitted by students. This exhibition, "All Power to All People," honors and amplifies the voices, histories, and contributions of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) within LGBTQ+ communities and is a nod to the 2017 installation by Hank Willis Thomas. This Art Gallery strives to move beyond Pride as a celebration alone and toward Pride as acknowledgement, visibility, and critical reflection. In addition to these booths, there will be spaces in this region of the Quad for interactive activities and crafts, and although not pictured, the Moovin' Moo-seum will be present along the East edge of the Quad.
The Performances zone is located in the Southeast Quad and will host all live performances at the performance stage and pole dance space. As shown in the image to the right, EMTs will be located in the upper left corner of this zone and will be present throughout the entire day. The performance stage is at the southmost edge of the Quad with the sound booth slightly north of it. To the east of the sound booth and also north of the performance stage, the pole at which pole dance will be performed is located.
