Tacoma WA: Tacoma Pride Festival (July 13-21)
The Tacoma Pride Festival is organizing for 2012 and we would like to include you.
The Festival will encompass nine days of programming and events from July 13 to July 21, 2012. The Tacoma Pride Festival is a celebration of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, and Allied Community (LGBTQA).
This is the 2nd year of our collaboratively produced, multi-day Tacoma Pride Festival and is an expansion of Tacoma’s long running Out in the Park Festival, which has been a celebration of LGBTQA pride for more than 20 years. Some of the highlights of the Tacoma Pride Festival include:
- Rainbow flag raising over Tacoma City Hall
- Rainbow Center’s Out in the Park Pride Celebration on Broadway
- Three days of films at the Grand Cinema
- Stage reading of 5th of July at the Broadway Center for the Performing Arts
- Oasis Youth Center’s PROUD OUTLOUD event … and much more!
