KEXP is celebrating Pride! We had so much fun throwing a party in the KEXP Gathering Space over Pride Weekend last year that we partnered up with Wildrose Bar this year! On June 28th, 29th and 30th join in on the fun with live performances by Adra Boo, Mandate, Mirrorgloss, and Chanarah; DJ sets all day and evening long including sets by KEXP's own DJs Riz, Larry Rose and Tim; and of course - the infamous Booty Shaking Contest on Sunday!
There are also a ton of other events happening over the upcoming days — just look at the list below! All Ages events are indicated where we could find information, but click the links to find out further details. And keep in mind, all events are subject to change.
