Kitsap Pride

This year, Kitsap Pride celebrates a major milestone — 30 years of uplifting our LGBTQIA+ community with joy, visibility, and connection. From our humble beginnings to the vibrant festival we now host, every step of this journey has been made possible by people like you. 

This milestone year is about honoring the thousands of lives that have intersected with ours — the volunteers, friends, community partners, families, allies, youth, and elders who have shaped Kitsap Pride into what it is today.

As we enter our 30th annual festival year, our community-based funding goal is $30,000 — support that keeps Pride free, accessible, family-friendly, and filled with everything that makes our celebration special. As an all-volunteer board, we rely on our community to help this work grow throughout Kitsap County.

For Giving Tuesday, we’re setting a humble, heartfelt goal: $3,000 — just 10% of our total need for the year.

A small number with a big impact. Your gift today helps us:

• Keep our festival free so everyone can participate

• Create safer spaces for LGBTQIA+ youth, including our Teen & Kids areas and Pink Prom

• Support accessible, inclusive community events all year

• Celebrate and uplift LGBTQIA+ artists, performers, and small businesses

• Partner with other nonprofits and deepen our reach across Kitsap

• Fund the behind-the-scenes essentials that make Pride possible

Whether you give $30 for our 30th anniversary, chip in a few dollars, or simply share our campaign, you’re sustaining a legacy three decades strong — and helping us step into the next 30 with heart, hope, and pride.

This work changes lives. Your support changes ours.

And together, we’re building a future where every LGBTQIA+ person in Kitsap County feels uplifted, affirmed, and changed for good. 🌈💖

30th Annual Kitsap Pride Festival - July 18, 2026

Our festival features over 100 local vendors, artisans, food trucks, businesses, and community organizations. We work hard to lower barriers for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC-owned businesses to participate, ensuring a diverse and inclusive event for all.

In 2021, we moved to the Kitsap County Fairgrounds to accommodate our increasing crowds. We are committed to expanding our festival while maintaining a family-friendly and accessible experience.

Kitsap Pride is entirely volunteer-run and funded through community donations, sponsorships, and grants. Your support today helps us continue to UNITE our community and create meaningful events year-round.
