Seattle Pride Weekend 2025!

Saturday, June 28th:

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.

Here are some rough maps of our staging location:

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:

An image of the Seattle Aces & Aros marching in the Pride Parade, with the overlaid text "Pride Parade", and a location of "4th Ave Between Union and University, Downtown Seattle, 6/30/24, 10:30 AM"

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!

Seattle Pride 2023

We’re participating in two events this year!

On June 24th, we will have a booth at PrideFest on Capitol Hill. We’ll be booth O-29, on the east side of the street between Thomas and John, in front of 8 To 8 Dental. It’s about a block from the Capitol Hill Light Rail station and about two blocks from Cal Anderson Park or the end of the Streetcar line. We’ll be the booth with the purple top and ginormous aro and ace flags. Drop by for some swag or to say hi!

Then on the 25th, we’re marching in the Seattle Pride Parade for the fourth time! Bring your signs, flags, and other Aro and Ace Pride gear and come join us!

It’s free and doesn’t require any commitment other than time.

The parade is on Sunday, June 25th, starting around 11 AM.  The Parade runs through downtown Seattle on the mostly flat 4th Ave, from around Westlake Center to Seattle Center. Distance is about a mile.

We are Contingent #11 on Block 2, between Union and University. This is several blocks south of Westlake Center, and only about a block away from the University St. Light Rail station. Our staging time is 10:30 to 11 AM. We are very early in the parade, so we will have to be ready to move shortly after the start of the parade at 11.

We will be staged between Gay City and the Space Needle, and alongside Pokemon. Look for the ace and aro flags and the sea of green and purple somewhere on the west side of the street.

You are more than welcome to make signs or wear aro and ace themed costumes. We’ll have flags for people to wave.

Seattle Pride 2019!

The Seattle Aces & Aros will again be marching in the Seattle Pride Parade!  We had such a blast last year that we’re doing it again!  Come march with us!  (It’s free and there’s no time commitment outside of the parade itself.)

The parade is on Sunday, June 30th, 2019, and runs through downtown along the mostly flat 4th Ave, from just south of Westlake Center up to Seattle Center.

We’re contingent #123, and our staging area is between Marion and Columbia on 4th Ave in Downtown Seattle. Our staging time is between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM. Here’s a map of the block with who is around us:

There will be a spectator group for those who want to watch the parade, but won’t be marching. Look for the flags somewhere between Pike and Bell along 4th.

Also, for the first time, we’re going to have a booth at the Capitol Hill PrideFest on June 29th. Stop by, say hi, grab some swag! We’re in the Purple zone, on Broadway between Mercer and Roy, booth P21.

Check out Facebook or Meetup for the latest updates or if you’d like to be involved.

Marching in Seattle Pride 2018!

The Seattle Aces will be marching in the 2018 Seattle Pride Parade!  This will be the first time there has been a dedicated ace/aro group marching in Seattle.  Come march with us!  (It’s free and there’s no time commitment outside of the parade itself.)

The parade is on Sunday, June 24th, 2018, and runs through downtown along the mostly flat 4th Ave, from just south of Westlake Center up to Seattle Center.

We are contingent #148, and our staging area is located about halfway between Cherry and James along 4th Ave, below City Hall.  We are located between the Cascadia Now and Kimpton Hotels groups and are next to the Fred Meyer Group.  Our staging time starts at 1:00 PM.

Here is the map of our staging location:
