Seattle’s Pride Month is going virtual for 2020. This weekend, there will be three full days of speakers, performances, and activities starting Friday, June 26.

Each of the three days is hosted by a different organization, which has taken the lead in the development of program content, offering a packed schedule of activities, performances, and sessions on a variety of topics.

The organizers of Seattle Pride acknowledge and stand in solidarity with other LGBTQIA+ organizations to condemn the murder of George Floyd, and stand against racism in all forms. A portion of this year’s programming will be focused on matters of activism and focusing on Black and brown voices.
