Seattle, Washington
Seattle, WashingtonSeattle Pride Weekend 2026 takes over the Emerald City June 26 through 28, capping a full month of LGBTQ+ celebration with the Seattle Pride Parade down 4th Avenue and two free PrideFest street festivals, plus a packed weekend of parties, drag, and dance floors across Capitol Hill and downtown. This is the big one, when hundreds of thousands of people fill the city for one of the largest Pride celebrations on the West Coast. The weekend builds all the way through. Friday kicks off with Trans Pride Seattle at Volunteer Park and opening nights for the Queer/Pride Festival on 11th Avenue, the Cuff Complex Pride Fest on 13th, and Wildrose Pride in the Pike-Pine corridor. Saturday brings PrideFest Capitol Hill along Broadway, the Seattle Dyke March, and Seattle Storm Pride Night at Climate Pledge Arena. Then Sunday is the main event, with the parade stepping off at 11 a.m. downtown and PrideFest Seattle Center running noon to 8 p.m. at Seattle Center, just a short hop from the parade route. A few local tips from your Seattle friends. Skip the car, because street closures and sold-out garages make driving downtown and on Capitol Hill miserable. Ride Link light rail to Westlake for the parade or Capitol Hill Station for the festivals. Late June in Seattle runs long and bright with sunset close to 9 p.m., but mornings can start gray and cool, so pack a light layer and sunglasses for when the clouds burn off. Then go celebrate the Emerald City at its proudest.
