Spiral Q’s 25th Annual Peoplehood Parade and Pageant is on Saturday, November 8th 2025 (rain date: November 15th). Peoplehood is more than a single Parade Day. Peoplehood is a 6 week long process of community dialogue, dreaming, and artistic making. There’s so many ways to join Peoplehood, and we hope you can join in this Fall as we build a parade and pageant performance to uplift, celebrate, and honor our collective power and struggle.
