The Whatcom Youth Pride Coalition proudly presents the 2023 Youth PRIDE Parade and Festival on June 3, 2023 - an opportunity for LGBTQIA+ youth and youth allies to walk together through a short 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! 

​With and estimated 1,500+ people in attendance in our 2019 inaugural year, and again in 2022; the Whatcom Youth Pride Parade and Festival continues to be huge success! We've relished the opportunity to gather in person and we're looking forward to gathering again this year!  Come join us! 

10:15 AM - Meet on the corner of Cornwall and Halleck wearing your most colorful Parkview shirt to march with your friends and allies. We will have a sign marking our group. We will have glitter, rainbow face paint and rainbow wands for those who wish to get snazzy.
