Capital City Pride

Join the Capital City Pride downtown Olympia walking tour to celebrate the rich, inspiring history of our local gay and le***an community. On this guided 1-mile flat walking tour, we’ll mingle and be present with our community’s history and one another’s stories. We’ll trace the footsteps of past generations, highlighting milestones like the opening of the Olympia Food Co-op, the vibrant collective households of the 1970s, and the founding of significant LGBTQ+ organizations and spaces. Learn what set the stage for Capital City Pridefest to become the vibrant celebration it is in Olympia today!
