How to Best Enjoy Pride

We are so excited to bring you the 2023 Kitsap Pride event at Gordon Fields (part of the Kitsap County Fairgrounds) in Bremerton, WA on Saturday, July 22 from 2 PM to 9 PM.

But first, on Friday Night we are opening the bar at 8:00 pm for a pre-FUNK party. Come join us for a summer evening of fun and frolic. 21+ NO COVER.

OK, back to Saturday – We have a great lineup on our Pride Stage including a bevy of local performers.

2:00 Welcome & Purple Passion Swing Band
3:15 local singer-songwriter ILA,
4:00 Satonya, Tristan Relentless, Alexxus Carr, Sacred Heart, Victoria Joy, Clara Voyance, Alexander AllaSTAR, & Hannah St. James
5:30 DJ Woodrow Low (presented by C89.5fm)
7:00 BeautyBoiz
8:30 CarLarans

We have 100 Vendors, a Food, and a Bar area. Bring a blanket or camp chairs. Charis will be allowed on the back half of the Pride Lawn. We have some cute blankets for sale at the Kitsap Pride store. Bring a water bottle and use our refill station. We have expanded the lawn and the food area. No tents, canopies, or umbrellas are permitted. We love dogs but with the crowds, we think they may be happier at home. No Smoking is allowed in the festival area.

We have a TEEN SPACE and KIDS ZONE each hosted by Kitsap Regional Library and the Boys & Girls Club of South Puget Sound.

Parking is available throughout the fairgrounds complex. There are other events happening at the fairgrounds. We are at Gordon Fields. It is the Westernmost part of the complex.

This year we wanted to honor the legacy of our neighbor and friend the late Patrick Haggerty. Lavender Country, led by singer and songwriter Patrick Haggerty, released what it widely considered the first openly gay country album in 1973. So join us for a Lavender Hoedown.

We have a great T-shirt and some stickers with our Y’all Means All design. Plus, we will have some of last year’s T’s that didn’t make it before the festival.

We have our 21+ (w/ID) bar sponsored by Tito’s Vodka and Silver City Brewery. We will have Frozen Tito Ritas and Frosé along with Tito’s cocktails and beer (including the Silver City Nice Day IPA Pride Edition can.

We also have expanded food offerings with an expanded layout with more room for food and watching the stage.
