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.
