Pride Parade starts down 4th St. in downtown Seattle at 11 a.m., and is estimated to end around 3 p.m. The actual length of the parade may change due to circumstances beyond our control.

We will notify you by email of the time and location that our float will be staging as soon as Seattle Pride sends out the notifications. Please be timely and wear comfortable shoes. We will have a limited amount of seating available on the float for those with accessibility needs.

We will need 3 people to carry the CSPC’s banner and 8 safety monitors.

We will have water available in the back of the truck towing our float. Please do what you can to stay hydrated and healthy. Bring headphones or earplugs. It is loud and everyone (including us) has a DJ! Use sunscreen and bring an umbrella if needed. Take care of you!

This is what Seattle Pride has to say about their theme:

"This year’s Seattle Pride® Parade theme is Galactic Love! We strongly encourage our contingents to embrace and incorporate this theme into your outfits, floats, and decorations for the Parade! As always, we continue to acknowledge that belonging in the LGBTQIA+ community presents differently for every individual. So as we pause to look back with respect, honor, and gratitude for those who began this fight for equality, we also look forward with ambition, motivation, pride, and hope for ALL who are under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella."

You may dress up any way that is street legal in Seattle. We welcome your pets, special costumes, rainbow explosion, latex lush, leather love, and especially galactic groovers! If you have questions about what is appropriate, ask a Board Member or DM ObliqueBanter on Discord. Email direct questions about the float to Turtle (tk@thecspc.org) or Larry (Temptr@gmail.com).
