    March

    Do you identify as a LGBTQIA+ youth in Whatcom County? Maybe a youth ally? Come march with us in June 2027! The parade begins at 11:00 AM and marchers should be lined-up along Halleck no later than 10:45 AM.

    As this is a youth-focused event, please note that participants in the march itself are limited to youth. (though we encourage everyone to line the route and cheer the marchers on!)
