Pride Month is here in Tacoma! The Tacoma Pride Festival kicks off on July 10th with a Flag Raising and the fun continues with live music, drag shows, special guest speakers, films, block parties and more. The Tacoma Pride Festival honors and celebrates the LGBTQA community. Tacoma Pride, the “main event” of Tacoma’s Pride Month typically takes place on the second Saturday at the Rainbow Center. This year, Tacoma Pride is on July 10th. To protect the health and safety of the community due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the traditional festival will not be held this year. However, there are “Points of Pride” which are Tacoma-area businesses and organizations that are holding smaller activities. The Points of Pride continue throughout the month.
