Celebrating Love, Community and Pride

Kent Pride Fest is dedicated to celebrating and uplifting the 2SLGBTQIA+ community through inclusive, affirming, and empowering events. We strive to encourage equality and foster a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.

Regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, or background, we encourage everyone to express their authentic selves, connect with others, and stand proud. Our events bring together live music, local vendors, food, art, and community visibility in a joyful, inclusive atmosphere right in the heart of downtown Kent.

Our mission is to promote visibility in our community by celebrating ourselves as individuals and remembering what we have fought so long for to protect.
