Bellingham Pride 2013

Bellingham, WA

Bellingham Pride

Bellingham Pride began 13 years ago under the direction of Whatcom PFLAG, as an event with roughly 1/2 a dozen tables in Fairhaven Park on a Sunday afternoon in June. It has been in its current location of Depot Market Square (Home of the Bellingham Farmers Market) for 6 years and this will be the 5th year in which the festival has had a parade. While most pride festivals tend to take place in June (National Gay & Lesbian Month), we recognize that we can offer a festival during July when Bellingham weather is nicer and no other prides are generally taking place. Our mission is to create a festival everyone can be proud of. We offer events that cater to all aspects of our LGBTQQI2A community.
