WEST SEATTLE WEEKEND SCENE: Alki Beach Pride 2026, on the street and on the sand

The mainstage entertainment gets going soon, but even before then, there are many things to do and see at this year’s Alki Beach Pride festival, at the beach and on the street (no traffic on Alki SW between 57th and 61st) until 8 pm. Here’s the schedule:

Rainbow City did some twirling; emcees D Dynasty and Deaunte Damper gave a welcome:

DJs are spinning:

And signs are everywhere:

Many local vendors, from merch to food:

There’s a beverage garden for those of age:

Local businesses and nonprofits are there too:

Even Cascadia Pigeon Rescue!

There’s also a health zone and a family zone, and it’s all happening until 8 pm.

There’s been a GIANT ultra-running event at Lincoln Park with hundreds of runners, a DJ with loud music, aid stations, and hundreds of spectators cheering all day. It’s a 12, 18, and 24-hour event. I’m surprised there was no coverage of this.

Unrelated to ABP. Anyway, I don’t know how “giant” the event in question is (although I can hear the announcing all the way up here), but it was in our daily preview list. (Second listing, “One Step Closer”)

Never received an announcement but every weekend I pull searches for Lincoln Park to see if anything’s happening that we hadn’t heard about, and while I was putting together the list at 5 am, this came up.

Checking our archives, it’s the second year; we had it in a mid-August event list last year too.

I wish I knew about that running event beforehand. Your comment is the first time I’ve heard of it.

@WSB, thank you for covering Alki Beach Pride! Great pictures of our queer/ally community coming together and having fun! We look forward to attending every year.

Sorry, comment time is over.
