Tacoma Pride Weekend 2019 Is HERE!

July 11, 2019• byMichael Strangeways

 

So, y’all should be recovered from all the big Pride events from two weeks ago when many cities including New York, San Francisco and Seattle celebrated the 50th Anniversary of Stonewall with HUGE events over the last weekend in June.

Last weekend was the mellow 4th of July Weekend but this weekend we’re getting ready to celebrate LGBTQ Pride Tacoma style with a big week of events that breaks wide open this Saturday, July 13th with a lot of stuff happening. In fact, Tacoma LGBTQ Pride celebrations seem to be bigger than ever with WAAAAAAY more events than ever before with a lot more options for Pride-y fun and reflection.

It all really officially kicks off tomorrow, Friday, July 12th the official reception and flag raising where area community members will also be honored for contributions to Tacoma’s LGBTQ community.

There’s also a performance from the Kinsey Sicks happening Friday night at the Rialto Theatre in downtown Tacoma and not really pride related but a coincidence, the rock band Queen with Adam Lambert is in town at the Tacoma Dome for a sold out show.

MixTacomaPride19Lineup

But, Saturday is the big day with the official Tacoma Pride Festival (note that Tacoma doesn’t do a parade/march) happening downtown plus many entertainment events in the evening and that night including both of Tacoma’s LGBTQ nightclubs hosting big outdoor street festivals.  THE MIX has a fun line-up including: Kimora Black (RPDR), Ongina (RPDR), Boomer Banks, QBoy (London) DJ Set. And, hosted by: Aleksa Manila, Indika Haze, Antia Spritzer. You can grab tickets HERE!

Down the street at Club Silverstone, they’re offering up special guests Jessica Sutta from the Pussycat Dolls, Debby Holiday and AB Soto with hosting from Seattle’s own Gaysha Starr. Grab more info HERE!

 

There’s also the Tacoma debut of BEARRACUDA TACOMA GAY PRIDE, the first time the legendary party producers have done an event in Tacoma.

Check out the whole list!

He's also a film producer who would like you to check out the Jinkx Monsoon documentary, "Drag Becomes Him" now available on Amazon.com. In his spare time, he gets slightly obsessive about his love for old movies, challenging theater, "otters", vodka, chocolate, "I,Claudius", Lizzie Borden, real books made out of paper, disaster films, show tunes, Weimar era Germany, flea markets, pop surrealistic art, the sex lives of Hollywood actors both living and dead, kitties, chicken fried steak, haute couture and David Bowie. But, not necessarily in that order.
