Seattle Pride in the Park

About This Grant

Seattle Pride in the Park is a free, inclusive event that launches Pride Month with a celebration of LGBTQIA+ culture, resilience, and community. In 2024, we welcomed 12,000+ attendees, hosted 80+ vendor booths (80% LGBTQIA2S+ owned, 40% BIPOC owned), and featured 18 local performers, injecting $14,000 into the local talent community. We partnered with 7 community organizations to provide targeted resources, including a Low Sensory Zone, an Elder Legacy Lounge, and a Youth Space led by Pride interns. Our impact is tangible: 96% of attendees plan to return, and vendors rated their experience 4.9/5 stars. We strategically increased accessibility, equity, and economic opportunities through our event in the neighborhood. Seattle Pride in the Park isn’t just an event—it’s a movement, fostering connection, visibility, and action for LGBTQIA+ rights in the Pacific Northwest.
