Whatcom Youth Pride Parade and Festival

The Whatcom Youth Pride Coalition proudly presents the 2025 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, and food trucks for lunch!

Parade starts at 11:00 AM and the festival shortly thereafter, until 2:00 PM. We limit the parade participation to youth (asking other community members to line the route in support)

The festival (with food trucks, community organizations, a makers space, youth art market, free glitter tattoos, and performances) is all open to the public.
