And, more area groups and businesses continue to jump on the LGBTQ+ Pride announcements for 2023 bandwagon…this time, it’s Seattle’s beloved (and only lesbian bar owned by lesbians) THE WILDROSE announcing their line-up for their annual three day outdoor street Pride party to happen outside their bar at 11th & Pike Streets on Capitol Hill.

This year’s Seattle LGBTQ+ Pride celebrations are happening the weekend of June 23, 24 and 25. And, once again, The Wildrose Pride Weekend is being curated by Kendall’s DJ & Event. Also once again, beloved local radio station KEXP will co-host the party on Sunday, June 25th.

Seattle’s Lesbian destination venue for close to half a century, The Wildrose Bar, is excited to announce WILDROSE PRIDE 2023! We were thrilled to get back to business in 2022 after a rough couple of years for everyone. Finally able to gather again and enjoy the collective celebration and commemoration that has always been so integral to all members of the LGBTQIA+ community. We pivot towards the 2023 Pride Season full of optimism, and ready to celebrate with you once again! This year, The Wildrose Bar has once again joined forces with Kendall’s DJ and Event (KDJE) to partner with us in the curation and management of a robust and dynamic line up of TALENT. Looking forward to seeing all of your faces exchanging all the hugs, dancing all the nights away, and cheering to some of our fantastic live performances.

For years now The Wildrose and their annual Pride Weekend Block Party has been a staple amongst Capitol Hill’s bustling Pride festivities. A destination for LGBTQIA+ locals as well as those traveling to Seattle’s Pride Weekend from all over the globe. It also has a distinct reputation for featuring some of the top names from across the United States! Previous years have included appearances by such incredible national talent as Imperial Teen, Big Freedia, Helle’s Belles, DJ Lisa Pittman, Glass Candy, Brandi Carlile, Gossip, DJ Tina T, Leslie & The Lys, DJ Brynn Taylor – and many, many more!
