Since its first march in 1992, the Spokane Pride Parade has grown from a small grassroots demonstration into one of the Inland Northwest’s largest annual celebrations of LGBTQIA2S+ pride, visibility, and community. Today, the parade and festival draws tens of thousands of participants and spectators as it winds through downtown Spokane before flowing directly into Riverfront Park for the region’s signature Pride Festival. The event continues to honor the legacy of the Stonewall movement while celebrating the diversity, resilience, and contributions of Spokane’s LGBTQIA2S+ community.

In 2026, Spokane Pride weekend kicks off on Friday, June 12, with a Pride Kickoff Show featuring drag performances, live entertainment, vendors, karaoke, and a dance party. The main celebration takes place Saturday, June 13, when the noon parade leads into a daylong festival featuring hundreds of performers across multiple stages, more than 250 vendors, two beverage gardens, family and youth zones, and the fourth annual Two Spirit Powwow. Together, these events create a vibrant, inclusive weekend that fills downtown Spokane and Riverfront Park with music, art, culture, and community connection.
