The beloved SaMo Pride is back this June with a month full of programming designed to celebrate, honor and support the LGBTQ+ community. 

SaMo Pride was established in 2019 as a citywide partnership between the city of Santa Monica, Downtown Santa Monica, Inc., Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica Place, Santa Monica Travel and Tourism and Main Street Santa Monica, dedicated to celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and providing a platform to champion individuality and acceptance. And, this year, we welcome the Main Street Business Improvement District and the Summer Soulstice open streets event into the SaMoPride umbrella.   

SaMo Pride continues to strive to increase visibility and understanding of the broad spectrum of gender identities and experiences within the LGBTQ+ community.   

The month kicked off with a Proclamation at the Santa Monica City Council meeting on May 27, written and designed by this year’s cohort from the Crow Comedy’s Family Pride Story-echtomy Program participants. Watch the video here. 

Pride Month will culminate in a community SaMo Pride celebration on June 21, which is bigger and better than ever before with activations throughout the Promenade, Santa Monica Place, Main Street, the Pier and even on the beach

Five-time Olympian Jesse Smith of Coronado and former UC San Diego coach Denny Harper have been named to the USA Water Polo Hall of Fame in this year’s induction class.

Smith helped the USA men win a silver medal in the 2008 Games in Beijing during his Olympic tenure (2004-2020). He was second American to compete on five Olympic teams.

As a high school player, Smith spearheaded Coronado High School to three CIF San Diego Section championships. He returned to his alma mater to coach the Islanders boys and girls teams, starting with Division 1 title teams for boys in 2023 and the girls in 2024.

Before heading to UC San Diego, Harper coached the San Diego State women’s club team. He graduated from SDSU in 1978.
