The countdown to Pride 2026 is on! Pride 2025 was our biggest and boldest celebration yet, with 63 incredible vendors, more than 3,000 attendees, 20+ unforgettable performers, a breathtaking boat parade, Films with Pride, and so much more. Our community showed up with joy, creativity, and heart, making it a truly powerful celebration of 2SLGBTQIA+ pride in Port Townsend. As we begin planning for 2026, our focus is not on going bigger, but on going better. We are building on the strong foundation we have created, deepening the quality of the experience, strengthening accessibility and inclusion, and continuing to center local 2SLGBTQIA+ artists, businesses, and voices. We are listening, refining, and investing in the details that make Pride feel welcoming, safe, and unforgettable, and we cannot wait to gather again for another intentional, joy filled celebration.
