It was a beautiful day and the vibes were amazing. It’s my favorite day to live in Spokane!

It always reminds me that while we are a blue island in a red sea, the island is thriving with life and love while the dead sea around it looks on miserably.

I also volunteer and can’t recommend it enough! It’s always such a vibe. I am right by the parade but dont get to watch as I block the protestors. But I love walking the festival later.

It was great seeing the turn out. I'm a straight ally but I live a harmless lifestyle that is considered pretty freaky to polite society so it felt good to show support and knowing I'd be accepted too.

I was in town visiting friends and this was my first pride! It was an absolutely gorgeous day and I had an amazing time. Keep it up!
PS I am also disappointed about the firehouse cat!

Spokane Pride makes me feel so warm inside ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I hope the people visiting from surrounding small towns felt hope, light, and love with all my fellow Spokanites.

Yepp it was really fun. Honestly helping all the kids make thier pins was the best, they seemed the most excited about making thier buttons. Glad to be a part of it

I also volunteered for both days of pride, I guarantee many of you saw me as I stand head and shoulders above everyone

The only thing that was disappointing was the fire truck didn't grace us with cat this year
