2024 Theme: AUTHENTIC

Step into the spotlight of authenticity at Kitsap Pride 2024, where we delve into the profound impact of being true to oneself. Scientific studies reveal that authenticity transcends mere emotion; it’s a fundamental aspect of well-being, even surpassing the depths of love itself.

Join us on July 20th as we explore the transformative potential of embracing our true selves. Come and participate in this day of unity, acceptance, and genuine connection, where authenticity reigns supreme. Let’s celebrate the beauty of being exactly who we are, and ignite a ripple effect of empowerment in our communities.
