White Center Pride returns this Saturday, June 7, 2025, with a full day of music, drag performances, family-friendly activities, and community resources aimed at celebrating and supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
The free, all-day event runs from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m. and will stretch across the heart of White Center, featuring multiple stages, street vendors, food trucks, and local organizations.
More than 20 performers and artists are scheduled throughout the day, including headliners DJ Nightmere, Chris Pierce, Spice Force Five, and Creature Hole.
Beyond entertainment, the festival will host a “Resources & Resistance” area in the Whateke parking lot, offering practical support for LGBTQ+ individuals.
Services include free notary assistance from 3 to 6 p.m., a vaccine clinic from 1 to 5 p.m., and queer combat arts workshops at 2 and 5 p.m.
“This isn’t just about celebration — it’s about connection and care,” organizers said in a festival preview. “Come ready to ask questions, receive help, and build community.”
A dedicated kids area in the Tim’s Tavern parking lot will feature slides, bouncy houses, and a special Pride Story Time at 3:30 p.m. hosted at the on-site bookmobile.
The festival also includes the return of the Rainbow Runway, a local favorite performance stage, and a robust food and drink scene with options from neighborhood eateries and food trucks.
A full event map and schedule are available online here, with more info at the White Center Pride website.
White Center Pride encourages attendees to “celebrate local” while honoring the resilience and diversity of the LGBTQ+ community.
