As Tacoma Pride has grown over the years, so has the need for a larger venue. After thoughtful consideration and collaboration, we’re proud to partner with Metro Parks Tacoma to bring the festival back to the park where it all began. We’re deeply grateful to Metro Parks for their support in helping us make this beloved community event more accessible, inclusive, and vibrant than ever.
We’re already gearing up behind the scenes—and we’d love for you to join us. Here’s how you can get involved:
Booth Applications
Vendor and resource booth applications go live soon! Keep an eye on our website and social media, and watch your inbox for a link via our community newsletter. Questions? Email us at vendors@rainbowcntr.org.
Entertainment Opportunities
Are you a local musician, drag artist, or performer based in Washington State? We’re actively booking talent for this year’s event. If you’d like to be considered, please send your rates and portfolio to vendors@rainbowcntr.org.

As we begin our gatherings, we respectfully acknowledge that our events take place on occupied Coast Salish land and that our Center is located on the lands of the Puyallup Tribe. We pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present and extend that respect to their descendants and to all Indigenous people.
To acknowledge this land is to recognize its longer history and our place in that history- including the recognition that this land was not freely ceded to the settlers who claimed it and attempted to wipe out entire cultures; it is to recognize these lands and waters and their significance for the peoples who lived and continue to live in this region, whose practices and spiritualities were and are tied to the land and the water, and whose lives continue to enrich and develop in relationship to the land, waters and other inhabitants today.
