Pride Across the Bridge: Grounded in Community

Description

Over the past 4 years Redmond Pride has blossomed from a small community-needed gathering into one of the Eastside’s most joyful and highly anticipated community-driven celebrations. In 2025, we welcomed applications from 115 vendors, 40 performers, and saw over 1,000 attendees! As our large-scale event and our leadership have grown, we have run into a bittersweet issue, we’ve outgrown our space.

After conversations with our team, partners, queer creatives, and local leaders, we’re excited to share that our 2026 Pride celebration will take place in Kirkland on September 5, 2026 12:00-5:00pm, and share the name Pride Across the Bridge! This beautiful location will allow us to host more vendors, artists, while staying passionately true to our values and Eastside roots. We will also be able to offer expanded ADA-accessible parking spaces available right at the park itself! 

Our vision for Pride has always been to create an accessible, affirming space, By and For our queer community. Spotlighting the incredible businesses, talent, and resources relevant to the lived experience of those who live and work in East King County.

What to expect with this new location:

• Same Community-Centered Focus and Leadership
• Love and Joy 
• Shuttle Service to/from Parking and the Event - with more ADA Parking and More Parking/Shuttle Options
• Police-Free 
• Bigger Space
• Active Partnership with City of Kirkland
