SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- San Diego's 50th annual Pride Parade and Festival is underway and thousands took to the streets of Hillcrest Saturday to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.

The San Diego Pride Parade kicked off festivities Saturday morning, starting at the Hillcrest Pride Flag at University Avenue and Normal Street, ending at Quince Drive. The total route was 1.5 miles long.
