GSBA Pride Luncheon and Pop-up Market 2025

Description

Celebrate Pride. Elevate Community. Fight For Our Future.

This Pride Month, GSBA invites you to join us at the Sheraton Seattle for our annual Pride Luncheon & Pop-Up Market, a vibrant midday celebration uplifting LGBTQ+ leadership, community resilience, and economic power.

It's clearer than ever: we need to fight for our future, so we’re spotlighting the power of advocacy, representation, and collective action—while honoring the entrepreneurs, leaders, and allies driving that future forward.

Start your afternoon by exploring our curated Pop-Up Market presented by Carter Subaru, featuring over 20 LGBTQ+ and BIPOC-owned businesses offering handmade goods, art, beauty, apparel, food items, and more.

Then, sit down for a two-course plated lunch and an inspiring program featuring some of Washington’s most impactful changemakers.
