Yakima Avenue transforms into a river of rainbows! Be part of history as we march OUT, LOUD, and PROUD through downtown Yakima, honoring our past and celebrating our future.

Yakima Pride invites everyone—LGBTQ+ individuals, allies, businesses, nonprofits, schools, and community groups—to join a parade that’s bold, joyful, and unapologetically visible. Let’s show Yakima what One Community truly looks like!

In 2022, 2023, and 2024, we continue to make history alongside our friends from Seattle PrideFest by presenting an unforgettable moment in Yakima's LGBTQ+ history. Together, we unfurled a massive 135 feet long and 30 feet wide GIANT PRIDE FLAG down Yakima Avenue, creating a truly glorious sight!
This year, we're bringing back the GIANT PRIDE FLAG, and we need your help to carry this beautiful symbol along Yakima Ave!
