Writing Love Letters @ 6 pm-

This is the second year we have set up a vintage typewriter booth. We have this set up for anyone who feels moved to sit and reflect on Pride, their identity, or even a love note. We gather these writings, which are turned into our Pride Zine each year. It is a way to document the event and create a lasting memory.

Outside the pavilion, local vendors will set up tables and share their homemade wares. Also, other nonprofits will be set up to offer resources to the community.

Yachats Community Presbyterian Church coordinates this event, with Pride covering the food costs. It’s a great time for kids and adults. Pastor Bob, Lorraine, and the crew know how to cook for large groups and add wonderful touches like the popcorn machine and the snow cone cart.

Pride Puppy Parade @ 1:30 pm-

We close out Pride with our fur-tastic showcase of locals and visiting four-legged (sometimes a three-legged). Prizes and certificates for all entries. Dress your pup up, or bring them in their natural coat. It’s a delight to see and fun to participate. We hope to have over 30 dogs this year!
