    People of all orientations are welcome! I’ve gone as a straight person for years. It’s always a great time.  The organizers are long time Alki residents and lovely people who dearly care for their neighborhood. Come out and enjoy the fun – and celebrate your neighbors and their right to love who they love.

    I’m assuming they mean load out beginning at 8pm, since you can’t load out the sound system until the music is done.  

Sorry, comment time is over.
