Cuff Fest celebrates alongside the Seattle Queer Pride Festival. The two festivals happen just blocks from one another
Cuff Fest celebrates alongside the Seattle Queer Pride Festival at the end of June. The two festivals, happening just blocks from one another in and outside Burgess Hall’s Capitol Hill establishments, are intended as complementary events.
- Are you visiting for Seattle Pride? Stay close to Capitol Hill, home to the city’s gay bars and clubs and the host bar and venue for the Cuff Festival. We recommend The Gaslight Inn, a recognised Seattle landmark complete with a stunning pool, great rooms and a top location just 2 minutes from the party.
