Pride, Pomp, and Pageantry: July’s Hottest Events in Tacoma!

July is here, and Tacoma has rolled out a fabulous lineup of events that promise to bring joy and glitter to your summer! First up, mark your calendars for the Tacoma Pride Block Party on July 12, featuring the one and only Trixie Mattel. Yes, you heard that right! The drag queen phenomenon will be spinning records to keep the party vibes alive. Along with her, a host of local performers will hit the stage, ensuring that the event is packed with talent and unforgettable moments.

But the Pride party isn’t the only highlight this month—Fae Fest returns for its second year, transforming the world into a medieval wonderland for two days, July 12-13. Attendees are encouraged to embrace their inner fairies—or knights—and partake in a whimsical celebration of art, creativity, and shimmering costumes. It’s the perfect excuse to dust off that corset or dig out those winged accessories from the back of the closet. And hey, who could resist a frosty ale from Obec Brewing while browsing handmade wares?

For those craving a little intellectual stimulation, “Heroines of Resistance” is running every Monday through July 14, sparking conversations about notable women who’ve combatted fascism throughout history. It’s a great way to meet like-minded folks and walk away with both knowledge and inspiration. Nobody said learning can’t come with a side of good drinks and even better discussions!

So, whether you’re into raucous parties, fantastical fests, or thought-provoking chats, Tacoma has you covered this July. Which event are you most excited about? Let us know in the comments—because nothing brings people together like a good old-fashioned celebration!
