First-ever Pride celebrations draw hundreds in north county
ARLINGTON — Drag queens in bright wigs, high heels and dramatic makeup took to the stage and captivated a crowd with sassy and soulful performances this weekend at Legion Memorial Park.
People of all ages, decked out in rainbow garb, clapped and whooped.
An estimated 300 people attended Arlington’s first-ever Pride celebration, and an estimated 800 turned out for a similar first-time event on Camano Island. Pride events have been held in June ever since the Stonewall riots in 1969.
The Arlington event also featured a panel discussion, a bubble show, dance lessons, interactive improv and a Pride walk.
