DOVE’s fifth annual Pride Street Dance brought color, rainbows and celebration to the heart of Vashon on Friday, June 5.

Held in front of the Vashon Theatre during the Vashon Summer Nights road closure, the event temporarily turned Vashon Highway into a community gathering space to kick off Pride Month. Organizers invited attendees to come as they are — or as they wish to be.

Chalk art, face painting, rainbow socks, boas and bright outfits filled the street, along with a blow-up rainbow arch for attendees to run, walk or strut through. The evening also included offerings from island community partners, a flash-mob-style moment and a youth-led fashion show.
