Dandelion Teahouse is honored to host Vancouver's Annual Pride Block Party!

This year, the block party is bigger than ever! We’ll still be on 7th street in front of Dandelion (between Washington and Main), and we’ll also be on Main from 6th street all the way up to 8th street, as well as in the alley behind Dandelion’s building! There will also be performers and activities in Our 3rd Space all throughout the day, so make sure to pop in there to check it out! 

Absolutely - everyone of all ages is welcome! We will have live performances all day, a goat petting zoo, arts & crafts, a Disco Diva history walk, a professional photobooth, face painting, axe throwing, tarot readings, and more! 

Parking is VERY limited downtown the day of Pride. We encourage you to plan ahead and take transit if possible - we have CTRAN bus passes for folks to get to the event available for pickup at Dandelion! Carpooling with friends is also a great option, but be prepared to spend some time looking for parking. There is street parking as well as a garage on 6th and Washington and another garage at 8th and Broadway. 

The event takes place on the street, and any sidewalks that may need to be utilized will be open and accessible to everyone. 

It will probably be warm outside, and the sun will be shining! Don’t forget sunscreen or something to protect your skin. We will have sunscreen at the first aid tent if you forget, as well as ear plugs for folks who may get overstimulated! 

Yes! There will be QR codes around the event if you’d like to donate to Dandelion - these donations will help us keep hosting free community events throughout the year! Bloodworks will also be onsite for blood donations, and the young democrats will be registering folks to vote at their tent. 

Yes! We have an emergency plan in place, and we have a team of de-escalators who will be at the event who are trained to lower tensions should any arise. We will have a first aid booth staffed by trained volunteers who will have first aid supplies, water, sunscreen, and anything else you might need. 

Yes! We will have performers on the main stage and the stage in Our 3rd Space all day long. Stay tuned for the lineup! 

Absolutely! We LOVE pets, and will even have some local vendors at the event with goods for your furry friends. 

No! As always, the Pride Block Party is free and open to all. 

Wear whatever makes you happy! We will be having our annual “Wear Your Pride” fashion show at 3pm, this is a chance for attendees to show off their amazing pride outfits and potentially win prizes for best looks! 

YES! Not only is the event surrounded by amazing local restaurants, we will also have the Bleu Door Snack Zone located in the alley between 6th and 7th streets featuring food trucks and vendors. Be sure to check out the snack zone and support the restaurants on our blocks! 

As in year’s past, this is an all-ages, sober event. You are more than welcome to stop in any of the local bars to grab a drink, but open containers of alcohol or drugs will not be permitted at the event itself. The event premises is non-smoking!
