Celebrate Pride at the Lifelong Pride Gala: An Evening for Equality

Saturday, June 13, 2026 | 6 PM | The Sanctuary, Downtown Seattle

Seattle’s only Pride dinner is coming this June, and it’s one you won’t want to miss. The Lifelong Pride Gala: An Evening for Equality brings together the Seattle community for a night of celebration, connection, and purpose. It is all in support of programs that uplift LGBTQ+ lives.

What to expect:

  • A festive cocktail hour to kick off the evening
  • A chef-crafted, three-course seated dinner with wine pairings
  • Hosting by style icon Brad Goreski
  • Drag headliner Miz Cracker and a special performance by Macy Gray
  • A live art auction featuring exclusive luxury items and contemporary works by local artists. These works are curated by our very own Seattle Art Source founder Sarah Hurt.
  • A surprise closing performance

Why it matters:

Proceeds support Lifelong’s wraparound care services β€” including HIV care, nutritious meal delivery, housing support, and access to lifesaving medications. Additionally, proceeds support Seattle Pride’s Youth Programs, which create affirming spaces for LGBTQIA2S+ young people to thrive.
