Seattle’s Pride weekend is powered by two partner organizations, each responsible for a different part of the celebration. Seattle Pride produces the city’s official Pride Parade and Pride in the Park, while Seattle PrideFest produces the major Capitol Hill and Seattle Center festivals. Together, they form one of the West Coast’s most energetic and community‑driven Pride weekends.
The Seattle Pride Parade, produced by Seattle Pride, takes place on Sunday, June 28, 2026, stepping off at 11:00 AM from 4th Avenue & Union Street. The parade travels north along 4th Avenue and ends near 2nd Avenue & Denny Way, just steps from Seattle Center. The parade features hundreds of contingents, local organizations, corporate partners, and community groups, drawing tens of thousands of spectators along the downtown route.
Immediately after the parade, the celebration continues with PrideFest Seattle Center, produced by Seattle PrideFest, running 12:00 PM–8:00 PM on the Seattle Center grounds. This festival includes multiple stages, DJs, drag performances, food vendors, community booths, and family‑friendly areas. The day before, PrideFest Capitol Hill transforms Broadway and Cal Anderson Park into a massive street festival on Saturday, June 27, creating a full two‑day Pride footprint across the city.
Seattle’s dual‑organization model gives the weekend a unique rhythm: a city‑run parade leading directly into one of the largest free Pride festivals in the country.
