Participants gathered beneath The Castro's historic marquee. After an entertaining set by Marks, emcee Sister Roma began the event and explained that the Castro Street Cam, which began in 2017, is an internet-based LGBTQ+ educational service that makes it possible for viewers, located anywhere globally, to virtually visit Castro Street and experience the vibrant neighborhood. Sister Roma introduced Cliff's Variety's Terry Asten Bennett, who used an oversized pair of scissors to clip a bright orange ribbon stretched down the sidewalk under the marquee.

A one-night-only preview of Cam 5 of the Castro Street Cam took place on October 31, 2025, capturing Halloween celebrations that coincided this year with the Castro Night Market. This new Cam-highlighting The Castro -will become a permanent part of the Castro Street Cam system in early 2026, revealing the grand opening of the theatre and venue, and allowing anyone in the world to connect to this historic landmark and neighborhood.
