A party at Ballard Commons Park celebrates final phase of marriage equality in Washington state

Ballard Blessings in the Park at Ballard Commons Park (5501 22nd Ave NW) is set to celebrate the final phase in Washington State legalizing marriage equality June 30.

On this day Washington State will convert domestic partnerships into marriages.

From 4pm to 7pm blessings will be offered to all, including couples uniting in marriage and celebrating the State's decision around marriage equality.

The event is free to the public and attendees can expect food trucks and free ice cream (courtesy of Umpqua Bank), as well as live entertainment from Alleyoop and The Weavils. Kids face-painting will be offered and Bubbleman is rumored to make an appearance.

This event was a collaboration with local churches and religious organizations as well as businesses.
