In portraying the positive aspects of Mexican culture, Bailadores de Bronce seeks to break down cultural barriers and build bridges within the greater community. The dedication of the dancers is demonstrated in their intricate footwork and refined choreography, while the richness of the culture can be seen in the beautiful costumes from the various regions of Mexico. All dancers, instructors and the Board of Directors volunteer their time, energy and efforts to bring Bailadores de Bronce to the high level of professionalism for which the group is known.
Bremerton, WA – Kitsap County will celebrate Pride on Saturday, July 18, 2009 with both old favorites, and new features. Festivities are being held at Evergreen Rotary Park in Bremerton, from noon to 5PM.
The Kitsap Pride Network organizes the annual event for the local lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and ally community, and the 2009 planning committee has been working hard to put together an event that exceeds expectations and showcases the talent and supporters in and around our community. Bring family & friends and be ready to enjoy a fabulous day at the park.
Although this year’s Kitsap Pride is being held in the same beautiful location, this year several great new features have been added, thanks to suggestions from previous year’s participants. We’ve expanded our area for families with children to come and enjoy by adding a bouncy house. There is a covered picnic area for eating, gathering to socialize or just people watching. If you want to be closer to the action there will also be tables nearer the stage, or you can bring a blanket or stadium chairs and make your own viewing area. Don’t forget the Frisbees!
ALL FAMILIES MATTER
We’re really excited this year to be having a “Kid’s Zone”, hosted by St. Paul’s Episcopal Church of Bremerton. Also, the Kitsap Safe Schools Network is sponsoring a Teen Space that will be hosted by The Q Center.

Non-stop entertainment from the stage, sponsored by Red Star Events, will include live music from local favorite Inga Nova and the heavy soul and funk sounds of the Kim Archer Band. Plus, local band Vera the Ghost.
This year’s Community Partner organizations the Kitsap County HIV AIDS Foundation, Kitsap PFLAG, Kitsap Safe Schools Network, Positive Solutions, The Q Center, Kitsap Unitarian Universalist Fellowship and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.
Our vendor marketplace should be a bustling avenue of GLBT Support & Education Information, Local Businesses and Merchants. This year there will be jewelry, apparel and accessories. Many of our favorite vendors are returning again this year, as well as a few new ones. Stop by the Kitsap Pride Network booth for some great pride merchandise and this year’s t-shirt.

Kitsap Pride is a community driven, non-profit event. This means that we cannot pay any performers. Instead we asked that you donate your time and give back one day out of the year. Back stage you will find drinks and snacks as well as tables, chairs and a dressing area. We ask performers to check-in with the stage manager 30 minutes before performance time. Our final schedule will be posted one week before event. On behalf of our community, Kitsap Pride thanks you for your involvement and appreciates your patience as we are unpaid volunteers that do the very best we can.
Time onstage is limited and we do our best to fit everyone in. We ask that all performers keep in mind the diversity of the crowd, including young children, without compromising their art. And we encourage outrageous, larger than life costumes and performances. Please let us know if you need anything!
The entertainment begins at Noon and ends at 5pm.
Contact us if you are interested in performing. We are sorry that our budget doesn’t allow us to pay. We can usually help with some expenses and feed you!
