YACHATS — Yachats Pride returns this weekend with three days of free activities, including Drag Bingo, live music, a Trans Tea Party, Pride Family Picnic and a Pride Puppy Parade. There will also be vendors on hand selling homemade wares.
“This is a time for connecting with one another and celebrating the diversity of Yachats,” said Emily Crabtree, a board member of non-profit Yachats Pride. Yachats Pride was formed in 2017 to celebrate diversity among the lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender, queer, inter-sex, and asexual community. The slate of events — all free — mark the group’s fifth Pride weekend.
Except as indicated, all Yachats Pride events are scheduled to take place around the Commons and Pavilion in Yachats. Beer and wine will be available for sale during all Pride events. For more details, visit the nonprofit’s website.
