Echoes has been a proud supporter and encourager of the Whatcom Youth PRIDE Parade and Festival - since its inception in 2019. WYP is an opportunity for LGBTQIA+ youth and youth allies to walk together through a short parade route while the community stands along the sidelines and cheers them on!
The parade culminates in a festival at Bellingham High School where there will be tables for community organizations to share their resources, music and performances, and food trucks for lunch!
With an average attendance of 1,500 people, the Whatcom Youth Pride Parade and Festival continues to be a huge success! We're looking forward to gathering again this year! Come join us!
