Shoreline Farmers Market to host First Annual Shoreline Pride Celebration on Saturday, June 10, 2023

The Shoreline Farmers Market is thrilled to announce that it is hosting its first annual Celebrate Pride event on Saturday, June 10, 2023. 

This vibrant and inclusive event in the heart of Shoreline will be a joyous acknowledgement of love, diversity, and equality.

With performances by the Burn Out Brass Band (an all-Queer marching band), the atmosphere will be alive with the spirit of unity and acceptance as individuals from all walks of life come together to honor and promote LGBTQIA+ rights.

“The Market strives to be a safe, welcoming place to gather for access to local food, small businesses and area resources,” said Mary Crandell, SFM Board President.

“We are excited for this opportunity to celebrate Shoreline’s LGBTQIA+ community, friends and family.”

Attendees are invited to visit favorite farmers and makers, connect with their neighbors, and to enjoy the Pride lounge and selfie station. Key resources from local organizations will be on hand for members of the LGBTQIA+ community, their loved ones, and the community at large.

A grassroots 501(c)(3) organization, the Shoreline Farmers Market has partnered with the City of Shoreline and the Port of Seattle to present this inaugural event.

"We are happy to be a co-sponsor of Shoreline's first annual Pride celebration at Shoreline Farmers Market," said Shoreline Mayor Keith Scully.
