🌈 Yakima Pride Festival & Parade – Celebrating Love, Resilience, and Connection! 🌈
A community event proudly produced by Yakima Pride and its annual partners, sponsors, and advocates!
We are thrilled to invite you to join us for an incredible celebration of love, resilience, and connection! Yakima Pride, along with our annual partners, sponsors, and advocates, is proudly presenting a community event that promises to be a magical experience like no other.
After facing unprecedented challenges posed by the pandemic, we know that we need community and connection more than ever. This event will not only allow us to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community’s resilience in the face of adversity but also give us the opportunity to come together and share the true spirit of Pride.
In 2022, our community made history by carrying the Seattle PrideFest giant 130-foot PRIDE 🏳️🌈 flag along Yakima Avenue through Downtown Yakima, with the Seattle Seahawks joining us in the Yakima Pride Parade! Our festival attendance was over 4,200 guests, and Yakima Pride Festival & Parade was VOTED BEST COMMUNITY EVENT by the Yakima Herald-Republic 2022 Readers’ Choice Awards! We are incredibly proud of what we accomplished and cannot wait to make even more memories with you.
Whether you are a returning guest or coming for the first time, this event promises to be a celebration of love, joy, and unity. So please join us and invite your friends and family to proudly celebrate PRIDE and share this beautiful event in our amazing community!
