Queer Community Day
Date
Sunday, June 22, 2025
Time
9:30am–5pm
Location
Seattle Aquarium
Spend a beautiful day during Pride Month at the Seattle Aquarium as we celebrate queerness in the ocean and our community!
Join us as we welcome members of the queer community to the “Aqueerium” for a day of educational talks, fun activities and more. Learn more about the great diversity of ocean life. And you won’t want to miss the family-friendly drag story time or drag shows, featuring talented local drag artists, including Harlotte O’Scara, Sara Femme and Ms. Stachio. DJ Justice Manslayer will also be performing, so be ready to dance!
Grab your tickets for this exciting day of learning and celebration at the Aquarium. Remember, one ticket grants you access to all three Aquarium buildings—including the new Ocean Pavilion—plus the day’s activities.
We’re working to build a more welcoming and accessible place for queer people in marine conservation. Complimentary admission tickets are available through the Seattle Aquarium Connections program. To learn about available discounts, please visit our discounts and group rates page.
This event is open to all members of the queer community and those eager to learn more.
