Description: This event is the city of Bellingham's Pride Parade, and the second largest Pride in the state of Washington, but we could really use the help of the Legions to make the parade bigger and more interesting! We are a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit, and the attendance of the Legions would really help us make this an exciting event for the youngest members of the Bellingham LGBT+ community as well as for the adults! We'll start at the corner of Halleck St. and Ohio St. continuing along Cornwall. We take a turn NE on W. Chestnut until we meet Railroad Avenue. From there, floats continue up Chestnut and people turn down Railroad to find the main Pride Festival at Market Depot Square!

From The Requestor: From our humble beginnings in 1999 with just a half-dozen picnic tables at Fairhaven Park to what we see today Bellingham Pride has grown to become the second largest pride event in Washington State. Through local support and activism, we’ve been able to organize festivals, parades, youth events, and various other outreach activities which now host over 10,000 participants annually.

Our goal at Bellingham Pride is to cultivate and preserve a safe and healthy community for LGBTQ+ folks and their families to live, work, grow, and thrive. We want to celebrate the diversity of human life, promote equal rights, increase the visibility of the LGBTQ+ community, and have fun doing it.
