The Downtown Business Improvement District continues its “Pride Stride” through June 22. Visitors who purchase more than $15 of merchandise, or one drink from participating businesses, receive a stamp. Those who collect five or more stamps will be eligible for a prize raffled off at the end of events.
There’s also a Bi+ pride night at Churchkey Pub at 7pm Sunday, June 30. It’s on edmondspride.org. “Everyone is welcome, but we encourage you to show your support for the bi/pan/polysexual community as we wrap up pride month. Wear your colors of choice, or just show up in support. There will be pride cocktails and food specials.”
Thanks for the update, Brian
Make sure to hit the beer garden at the Pride Celebration in the Civic Playfields. They’ll be pouring El Sueñito’s Un Poco Gay Hazy & Stoup’s Rainbow Bubbles IPA! I’m so proud of the hard work put in by the Pride committee, this will be a truly thoughtful celebration bringing together various elements celebrating diversity, the arts and the LGBTQ+ community.
So glad to read this article and the positive responses. Comments in today’s Seattle Times simply ooze contempt and intolerance.
