2025 Spokane Pride

Spokane Pride 2025 is going to be the most colorful day of the year, and Believe in Me will be right in the middle of it with a float and a bustling merch booth. Were looking for energetic, LGBTQIA2S-affirming volunteers to set the stage, march in the parade, sell our signature PRIDE swag (yes, those clack-tastic folding fans!), and wrap everything up when the partys over. Heres how you can help on Saturday June 14, 2025.
