Seattle Dyke March 2026

About Seattle Dyke March 2026

The Seattle Dyke March 2026 takes to the streets of Capitol Hill on Saturday, June 27, a grassroots, community-led celebration that offers a powerful counterpoint to the big downtown parade. Going strong for more than three decades, the Dyke March centers lesbian, bisexual, and trans visibility and the communities that mainstream Pride too often pushes to the margins, gathering on the Hill for a rally and a march through the neighborhood. Unlike the spectacle of the Sunday parade, the Dyke March is intentionally rooted in activism and community, with speakers, performers, and a spirited march that has become an essential part of Seattle's Pride landscape. The day belongs first to LGBTQ+ women and trans and gender-nonconforming people, though allies are welcome to show up in support. Expect a joyful, political, and deeply Seattle gathering that connects the celebration of Pride to its protest roots. The march gathers on Capitol Hill, historically around the Seattle Central College plaza on Broadway, an easy walk from Link light rail at Capitol Hill Station. The organizers announce the exact meeting point, rally time, and march route closer to the date, so check the Seattle Dyke March channels before you head out. Bring water, comfortable shoes, sun protection, and any signs you want to carry. The march typically steps off in the late afternoon or early evening, leaving plenty of time to join the rest of the Hill's Pride Saturday celebrations afterward. For anyone who wants their Pride with history and substance alongside the party, the Seattle Dyke March is the heart of the weekend.
