Four ways to celebrate Pride this week of June 19th

SEATTLE – It’s a big week everyone – Pride is underway and there’s a lot to do this week.

Shikorina pastries – Central district

If you want to support a queer owned business, check out Shikorina Pastries. It’s an organic bakery in the Central District that makes amazing chocolate chip cookies.

10th Annual Totally Gay Singalong – Central district

And while you’re in the Central District, warm up your vocal cords – on Thursday 23rd at 8pm Central Cinema will be celebrating its 10th annual Totally Gay Singalong! This even includes two hours of subtitled videos for your sing-along enjoyment. Tickets are available here.

Pride Weekend – Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium

On the weekend of June 25-26, Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium and Northwest Trek will celebrate Pride with rainbow-colored enrichments for the animals, as well as an Animal Pride Parade departing from the Wild Wonders Stage at 1:30 p.m.

Seattle Pride Parade – 4th Avenue (between Pike Street and Denny Way)

On Sunday the 26th, the Seattle Pride Parade begins at 11 a.m. after a two-year hiatus. This year’s theme is Family Reunions, which makes sense as there are 200 groups attending the event! The route runs along 4th Avenue between Pike Street and Denny Way.

Pro tip: get there early to secure a spot along the parade route, or head to W Seattle for the 8:30 a.m. Sunday Pride brunch.
