Cap Hill goes all OUT for Queer Pride Festival (QPF), a lavish three-day event overflowing in drag, dance and dazzling performances. It’s an elevated Pride — strictly 21+ — so leave the baby gays at home and head to the heart of Seattle’s queer epicenter.

The lineup includes headliners like Tinashe, Lil’ Kim and Heidi Montag billed alongside local drag artists and royalty like Norvina DuBois, Glenn Coco and Moscato Sky!

Tickets are available in single day and three-day passes. VIP is offered for both, with access to indoor lounges, private bars, daily gift bags and photo-meets with your favorite drag queens.

With multiple DJs, divas and days to turn the block into a dance floor, this Pride is at full volume.

💡Pro tips:

🅿️Parking in Cap Hill is unhinged on normal days, take transit or rideshare.
⏰Arrive early: Some places, like access to the inside spots at Queer Bar, are first come, first served, so hit a nearby drag brunch before.
🪩Dress to express: This is the time to shine — color encouraged!
‼️Know the rules: 21+ and ID required.
