    Saturday in the Park Pride

    2025 will label the 31st anniversary of Vancouver, Washington’s Pride in the Park — the city’s original identity festival event, formally recognizable as “Saturday in the Park.” This event, in addition to being the longest-running LGBTQ+ movement celebration in Southwestern Washington, is a celebration of being, a gathering of joy, and a place to explore support and friends.

    Inspired by a rendezvous held in 1993 when a petty group got together to celebrate Southwest Washington’s LGBTQ+ society, the Saturday in the Park event event has grown into a significant celebration. It is now held on the second Saturday of every July at Esther Brief Park in downtown Vancouver — this year’s event will be on July 12, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

    This event includes plenty for the whole family, including:

    • Live music (all time long!)
    • Drag queen story hour
    • A children’s area featuring an obstacle course and other fun, kid-friendly activities
    • A maker’s market featuring over 150 local businesses and vendors
    • Plenty of food vendors
    • Information booths featuring organizations and businesses that support the Homosexual community

    In addition to being a pleasurable, joyous celebration, Saturday in the Park a
