Breaking news: There was a picnic in Volunteer Park on a sunny, gorgeous Saturday. Here are a few sights from 2015’s Pride Picnic, the annual family and friends-oriented start to Capitol Hill’s month of Gay Pride celebrations. This year, kids were in control of more than SOAP box derby cars and the bouncy houses — they even rocked the stage as the pint-sized musicians from Pig Snout let it rip in Volunteer Park.

This weekend brings a relative lull in the events end of things for Seattle Pride though don’t miss out on the 2015 Pride Shabbat at Temple de Hirsch Sinai on Friday the 19th and lots of Pride parties in the neighborhood. You can check out what’s in store for Pride weekend on Capitol Hill here.
