Don’t forget to visit the Eagle Trading Co., a small store located inside the bar for jewelry, shirts, and all your other needs.

As the largest U.S. city to be actively led by an openly queer mayor, San Antonio deserves a big Pride bash, and the Main Strip’s annual festival and parade on the last weekend of Pride Month certainly fits the bill.
