Kitsap Pride is an all volunteer organization, including our board, and we rely on many more volunteers to make the festival happen. It’s a fun way to participate and a great way for friends and allies to contribute. You can sign up as an individual or a group if you want to volunteer together.

Family Pride Picnic – June 5 – Pilgrim Firs

Note – We’re on rain or shine. There’s a big indoor lodge at Pilgrim Firs and hopefully we’ll get some sun breaks to enjoy the forest as well.

We’ll have a music, lawn games, and you can enjoy walks in the woods including trails around the lake and a contemplative labyrinth or check out the new Pride Garden. There’s an indoor area if the weather doesn’t cooperate!
