This free, ALL AGES community celebration welcomes ALL KIND HUMANS to come together in support of the LGBTQIA+ community while celebrating diversity, inclusion, and belonging. Attendees will enjoy a day of entertainment, community, and connection featuring:

For many people, especially in smaller communities, Pride can be the first time they see themselves reflected openly and positively. Pride in the Park creates a welcoming space where everyone can show up exactly as they are and know they belong. In a time when LGBTQIA+ individuals continue to face challenges and uncertainty, community visibility, support, and celebration matter more than ever.
Pride in the Park isn't just an event—it's a movement rooted in advocacy, education, acceptance, and compassion. Through experiences like The Path of Acceptance, attendees are invited to reflect on their own journeys while honoring the diverse experiences of others.
The day begins with the annual "Narrow the Divide" Pride March. Participants are invited to gather on the Gig Harbor side of the Narrows Bridge at 8:30 AM, with the march beginning at 9:00 AM. This powerful tradition symbolizes our collective commitment to building bridges of understanding and creating a future grounded in love and respect.
Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis throughout downtown Gig Harbor, with additional parking available at Gig Harbor United Methodist Church off Pioneer Way.
Pride in the Park is made possible through the generosity of local businesses and community partners. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our 2026 sponsors:
