A Three-Day Celebration of Love & Liberation

Get ready, Olympia! Capital City Pride Festival is back for another unforgettable weekend of joy, activism, and community. From the heart of Downtown Olympia to the scenic waterfront at The Port Plaza and Percival Landing, we’re transforming the city into a vibrant celebration of LGBTQIA2S+ pride, resilience, and unity.

What to Expect:

Live Entertainment: Experience show-stopping performances by local and national LGBTQIA2S+ artists, drag performers, and musicians across multiple stages.

Festival Grounds: Enjoy food trucks, artisan vendors, and community resources in a festival space designed for connection and celebration.

Arts & Culture: Explore local art vendors, live exhibitions, community dance groups, and pop-up exhibits that showcase the creativity of our community.

Health & Wellness (new): Join us for a vibrant LGBTQIA2S+ Health & Wellness event, fostering community, self-care, and holistic well-being through workshops, resources, and activities tailored to our diverse needs. Connect with local health professionals, enjoy movement and mindfulness sessions, and celebrate wellness in an inclusive and affirming space!

Dance Party: Get ready to groove at the Pride Dance Party, featuring top-tier DJs and electrifying performances.

Parade & March: Join us as we march from The Capitol Building Steps through Downtown Olympia in a bold and colorful display of love, advocacy, and visibility.

Pack In & Pack Out: Pride is a ZERO WASTE festival. We ask all our participants to be Environmental Stewards and ensure they take care of Mother Nature. We celebrate Pride on borrowed land and we must protect nature at all costs.
