Since its first unofficial march in 1974, Seattle Pride has grown into one of the biggest LGBTQIA+ parades in the country, drawing more than 300,000 people. The festival is now a month-long celebration with events like Pride in the Park, community fundraisers, and educational panels. The energy in the city is lively and fun as locals and visitors come together to celebrate love, identity, and progress.
