Parade and Festival Info
Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 30, 2026!
The Whatcom Youth Pride Coalition proudly presents the 2026 Youth PRIDE Parade and Festival - an opportunity for LGBTQIA+ youth and youth allies to walk together through a short, one mile parade route while the community stands along the sidelines and cheers them on! The parade culminates in a festival at Bellingham High School where there will be tables for community organizations to share their resources, music and performances, makers space, youth art market, and food trucks for lunch!
With an average attendance of 1,500 people, the Whatcom Youth Pride Parade and Festival continues to be a huge success! We're looking forward to gathering again this year! Come join us!
