March with ILEA in the Seattle Pride Parade!

Join ILEA Seattle, in partnership with WIPA Seattle, as we celebrate Seattle’s 50th Anniversary of Pride on June 30th at the annual Seattle Pride Parade. The largest LGBTQIA+ Pride parade in the Northwest, the Seattle Pride Parade is a community-wide celebration advancing awareness of LGBTQIA+ issues and promoting mutual respect and equal human rights for all.

Attendees are invited to gather together to march in the parade as a group in support of the LGBTQIA+ community, marriage for all, and equal rights without prejudice. You are welcomed and encouraged to celebrate the theme of this year’s parade – “Now!”, honoring the original rallying cry for gay rights and queer visibility.

Members of ILEA and WIPA will receive a branded T-shirt, swag bags with Pride gear and goodies to keep you healthy and hydrated on the parade route, and a few fun surprises to keep the positive energy going as we march as a coalition of event industry professionals in support of Seattle Pride and the LGBTQIA+ community at large.

Logistical Details: Exact arrival timing and staging information, along with tips & important info for parade goers, will be communicated via email to all registered participants a few days beforehand. Immediate family of members are welcome. More info on this will be shared via our @wipaseattle and @ileaseattle Instagram and Facebook platforms. The typical walking pace for marchers is about 2.5 mph. We will have one vehicle accompanying our group with limited seating for participants with mobility needs. Please contact our Director of DEI, Deci Evans (deciten@gmail.com) for questions regarding accessibility and logistics. 

If you are interested in joining us as a sponsor on the walk, please contact Avery at AYoung@bbjlatavola.com.
