Trans Pride Seattle 2026

About Trans Pride Seattle 2026

Trans Pride Seattle 2026 fills Volunteer Park on Friday, June 26, from 5 to 10 p.m., one of the largest trans-specific Pride gatherings in the country and a powerful evening that opens Seattle's big Pride weekend. Produced by the Gender Justice League, this free festival centers transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse community with performances, speakers, and a resource fair, putting trans joy and visibility at the heart of the celebration the night before the parade weekend takes over the city. The evening unfolds at the Volunteer Park Amphitheater with a stage of all-trans talent, from music and spoken word to drag and dance, alongside a tabling fair with more than 100 community organizations sharing resources and support. The crowd is warm, intergenerational, and celebratory, and the event has long been one of the most meaningful and well-loved entries on the Seattle Pride calendar. Organizers ask attendees to mask up to keep the gathering accessible to immunocompromised community members. Volunteer Park sits at 1247 15th Ave E on Capitol Hill, an easy walk from Link light rail at Capitol Hill Station or a ride on the 10 bus, and the festival is free and open to all. Bring a blanket or a low chair for the lawn, a mask, and a layer for the cool Seattle evening once the sun drops. Check the Gender Justice League channels for the final schedule closer to the date. As the opening night of Seattle Pride 2026 weekend, Trans Pride Seattle is essential, joyful, and not to be missed.
