Redmond Pride Returns On Labor Day Weekend

July 20, 2024• byMichael Strangeways

It’s a fun way to wrap up the summer LGBTQ+ Pride Season…in Redmond! They’re back for another year of Eastside Pride on Saturday, August 31st from Noon to 5pm at Redmond’s downtown park. AND, they’re promising us “live mermaids”…though we’re also hoping for some merMEN.

More info below and at their website: https://prideacrossthebridge.org/redmond-pride/

We are thrilled to return to Downtown Park for our third year of celebrating Pride in Redmond, WA! For now, mark your calendars and save Saturday, August 31st to gather with our community and celebrate our community once again! Stay tuned to this page as we get closer to the event to learn more about the amazing and fun performers and talented vendors we have joining us this year. The sprinklers will be on for this event too, so prepare to get wet if you would like to!

Downtown Park has a splashpad in front of the stage~ we plan to turn these on if the weather gets hot, so bring your suits!

Redmond Pride works hard to be a safe event for everyone in our community. We’re thrilled to partner with an experienced LGBTQIA+ majority security team instead of relying on Redmond’s Police Department. Our organization, Pride Across the Bridge, will have free earbuds at our table to offer support to keep everyone’s audio reception enjoyable! Our sensory friendly/relax and enjoy booths will be in the center of the event, with soft rugs, cozy chairs, and even feature a couple of drag story times! We will also have a couple of wonderful photographers at our event.
