The following description comes from the event organizer.

Seattle PrideFest is produced by PrideFest, a 501c3 non-profit, with vendor assistance by One Degree Events, with Festival Director Egan Orion, an amazing support staff, and tens of thousands of supporters.

We took over the festival in 2007, when financial problems from the previous festival producers made it impossible for them to produce that year's festival. We only had six weeks, but it was a big success, and we've been building our festival ever since. One Degree Events couldn't do this without a lot of help. Volunteers, staff, the Seattle Center, amazing artists from the Northwest and around the country who add to the excitement of Pride Weekend, and the community that continues to support us year after year. Because of you, we've grown PrideFest into the largest free Pride Festival in the country - THANK YOU!
