We will have a booth at Capitol Hill PrideFest on Saturday! We’ll be located near the corner of Broadway and Mercer, in front of Star, starting at 11 AM. Come by for free swag or just to say “Hi!”. This year, we’re sharing our lounge tent with the Seattle Pan Bi Alliance. Come check it out, it’ll be the stuff memes are made of!
Sunday, June 29th
It’s the main event! We’re marching in the Pride Parade and want you to join us!
Our staging area is between Madison and Spring, near the lower entrance to the library, at 11:30 AM. Just look for all the ace and aro flags!
For more information, including parade day updates, check out the events on Facebook or Meetup.
We’re just a week away from Pride Weekend! We hope you’ll be able to join us (and bring your friends!) to all the things we have planned. You can find more details and optionally RSVP on our Meetup or Facebook groups.
Friday, 6/28:
To kick it off, Pride Weekend starts with Karaoke at the Shanghai Room in Greenwood, at 8:30 PM. Come out and sing, or just hang out without singing if that’s more your speed.
Saturday, 6/29:
We’re going to have a booth at PrideFest Capitol Hill all day. We’ll be located in a double tent on the west side of Broadway, mid-block between John and Thomas, in front of Sumo and The Alley. Stop by for some free aro and ace related swag (Some things will have price tags to discourage the street fair lookee-looters from grabbing it all, but it’s free if you’re under the ace or aro umbrellas. Just tell them you’re with the band.) and a craft table, or just duck into the tent to get out of the crowds and chill with us for a bit.
At 1:30 PM, we’re hoping to take the ginormous flags (As Seen On Tumblr™) over to Cal Anderson Park for a bit of a photo op with Flying Gigantic Flags In The Park! If you’ve ever wanted to fly what are likely the world’s largest aro and ace flags (and if they’re not the largest, they’re still pretty danged big), this is your chance. We’ll also have ginormous rainbow and trans flags, a non-binary flag will be making its debut, and we’ll likely have some not-ginormous-but-still-big flags for many more identities.
Sunday, 6/30:
The main event: March in the Seattle Pride Parade! We’ll be staging for the parade on 4th Ave between Union and University, starting at around 10:30 AM. There will also be a pre-game breakfast starting at 9:30, gathering about a block away in a plaza in front of Purple Wine Bar. We’re one of the earliest contingents in the parade again this year, so be sure to get there by 11! You can bring your own flags or signs, or we’ll have plenty for you if you just show up.
Looking forward to seeing you all there, and if you have any questions about any of these events, please feel free to ask! And again, check out our Meetup or Facebook groups for more details about these (and other!) events!
The Seattle Aces and Aros marched in the 2022 Seattle Pride Parade, marking our third appearance in the parade. Thank you to everyone who joined us and everyone who cheered us on from the sidelines. We hope to see you all again next year!
