Spokane PRIDE 2020
Each year in June, the Spokane community comes together to celebrate LGBTQ+ liberation during national PRIDE month. PRIDE is an annual celebration that honors the brave individuals who fought back against police raids in 1969 at the Stonewall Inn in New York. Learn more about PRIDE and the Stonewall Riots here.
Going Virtual
This year due to public health concerns, OutSpokane, the local organizers of Spokane PRIDE 2020, have decided to move June festivities to a virtual celebration.
In addition, they have moved the annual parade to October. Learn more about the Spokane 2020 PRIDE Parade here.
