Greetings!
Here at the Rainbow Center we are very much looking forward to Out in the Park 2011. This year there are several exciting developments around the Celebration. One of the biggest is that Out in the Park will be held on Broadway between 9th St. and 11th St. This will be a great location with lots of space for booths, a lovely park area for the stage, and a great easily accessible downtown location.
Currently we are recruiting more organizational and artisan vendors, performers, and volunteers. Deadlines for vendors and performers are fast approaching, please submit your applications soon.
We are thrilled to announce Pride Every Day in Tacoma. A 10 day celebration featuring a remarkable selection of LGBTQA programing. We would particularly like to thank the City of Tacoma for their support. Keep an eye out for celebration details to come.
As always, Thank You for all that you do to make our community so incredible-
Michelle
