Queen Calafia

A celebration of the return of Queen Calafia to California will be held on Sunday, October 3, at 3:30 p.m. in Dunphy Park on Bridgeway between Napa and Litho Street in Sausalito. The celebration will be free. Everyone is invited. Bring a picnic.

The Citizens of California know their state’s name. But few know where the name California came from, and fewer still know that it is named after a mythic Black Amazon warrior queen, according to the announcement.

Queen Calafia is returning to California to change all that.

Queen Calafia and her entourage will arrive by boat at Dunphy Park and will be greeted by the Cal Alumni Band with a fanfare and a rendition of Calling Calafia. The queen will place her foot on California soil for the first time in hundreds of years and then parade to the band shell to be greeted by the mayor of Sausalito, Emperor Norton, and other dignitaries. Proclamations from the City of Sausalito and the City of Oakland will be read. Various performers and presenters from all walks of life will welcome Calafia. The queen will speak to the assembled Californians.

This is history in the making. Come and welcome Calafia back to California. Don’t miss it.

There will also be a reception on October 5 for Calafia at the GLBT Historical Society Museum in the Castro in San Francisco.
