For nearly 50 years annual gay pride parades have become
a tradition in dozens of cities worldwide. They have evolved
from radical marches into festive parades with elaborate
floats and notable participants including politicians and well-
known entertainers. Celebrating the diversity of LGBT communities Seattle joins
the world wide celebrations and puts on one of the best parades in the country. If
you ever truly wanted to see how Seattle parties this is the parade for you, but be
warned this is not for the timid. You will see naked men and women proudly march-
ing down 4th Ave., costumes, getups and body paint worthy of Oscar nods, boisterous
music that will infuse your soul in the merriment that defines what many refer to
as simply "Pride". It is difficult to distinguish who is actually a parade participant as
compared to an observer. This parade is one big spectacle of joy should definitely be
on your summer bucket list.
