MARCH IN THE PARADE

Youth of all ages are encouraged to march in the parade! We take all kinds!

  • School QSA/GSA

  • School Clubs

  • Scout Groups

  • Community Organizations (Girls Rock Camp, 4-H, Scouts, etc...)

  • Friend Groups

  • Families 

    -Or you can just sign up as an individual! 

​

*Note to community organizations/businesses:

This is a parade for the youth. Unlike most Pride parades, the youth of Whatcom county will be marching in the parade and the adults, organizations, and businesses that support them will be cheering on from the sidelines.

 

Adults that represent these groups will be able to march with the youth (for example a few adult organizers of Bellingham Girls Rock Camp may march with the youth that they serve as chaperones), but the youth will be the focus of the parade.

 

If you would like to be involved as an organization or business try tabling at the festival or adopting a part of the parade route as a parade party coordinator (below)!

Following the parade there will be a small festival held at Bellingham High School featuring some performances (mostly TBA at the moment), but one thing for sure is that we will be having an open mic/talent show show featuring the youth of Whatcom County! 

 

Youth ages 13-19 are encouraged to get a costume and come up with an act! We'll accept acts of all different types: lip syncs, karaoke, gymnastic routines, magic acts, etc...

 

If you would like to perform in drag we will also have a hair and makeup artist on site to help you with your look!

 

Please have your acts be under 4 minutes and make sure they are family friendly.

 

Please have your parents sign you up 

The deadline for sign-ups is XXXX, so get your act together!
