WEEKEND SCENE: White Center Pride’s 2025 street festival

3:39 PM: Thanks to Andrew for sending photos from the White Center Pride street festival happening on and along 16th SW between SW Roxbury and SW 100th. Many of the venues along 16th are presenting entertainment and/or activities – Lariat Bar, as usual, has a wrestling ring:

There’s a family play area, too:

We have a photographer there now and plan to add more photos.

5 PM: And here they are (WSB photos from here down):

Interactive activities include axe-throwing!

And bull-riding:

As mentioned above, wrestling – continuing until 6 pm:

    This year is the best White Center Pride yet!  The kids’ area is even better than the one at SummerFest, in my opinion.  Lots of great people, lots to see and do, good assortment of vendors, lots of booths with cold/frozen treats, and solid performers and DJs all up and down the street.  Was on the fence about going because last year was a little slow, but very glad we made it!

    The organizers of this event have done a really nice job with this for as long as we’ve been going. It was nice to see the weather work out so perfectly for them – sunny with a cool breeze and lots of rainbows. My family loves everything that this event has to offer – the music, the food, the bouncy houses – but the WWE-style wrestling was just bananas fun.

    Was over there about an hour ago and have to agree with the above comments.  Amazing.  Street was very crowded.  The best ever!  Will be headed back over this evening.
