    Raising the Pride Flag in 2022

    Pride party to feature performances and food

    In celebration of Pride Month, the City of Bellevue invites people who live or work in Bellevue to a community party June 1, to include a keynote speech, performances from local LGBTQ+ artists, music and food. The event will be live streamed on the city’s YouTube channel and recorded for on-demand viewing.

    Community members are encouraged to attend the free event at City Hall on Thursday, June 1, 12-1:30 p.m. (event flyer).

    The flag raising, with remarks from city leaders celebrating the contributions of the local LGBTQ+ community and Bellevue's diversity, will take place Thursday morning. A video of the flag raising will be shown at the Pride party.

    Jodi O’Brien, a sociology professor at Seattle University, will deliver a keynote address celebrating strides made by the LGBTQ+ community to advance inclusion and representation. The speech will be followed by a theatrical performance highlighting the talents of queer artists in the community.

    The program will conclude with music by a live DJ and light refreshments, and the public can visit resource tables with information on supporting the LGBTQ+ community.

    Event collaborators include the city's Rainbow Alliance for Diversity employee group, with support from local partners Meta, Symetra, Pride Across the Bridge, Eastside Pride and others.

    In partnership with the Bellevue Downtown Association, the city is also sponsoring Pride banners that will hang along downtown Bellevue’s Grand Connection in June.

    The BDA will also host the first-ever Paws and Pride Dog Jog and Walk in downtown Bellevue on June 4, 8:30 a.m. at Ashwood Park. Partial and full street closures may impact traffic on adjacent streets 6:30-10 a.m. Detours and road closure signs will be in place, with police officers providing traffic control. More event details are available at Traffic Advisories. 

    The City Council will also recognize Pride Month with a city proclamation at the June 5 council meeting.
