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.
The Cuff Festival
- Festival organiser and owner of the Cuff bar, Joey Burgess, describes the event as “reminiscent of Folsom Street Fair; a grittier, more DIY space”.
- Lineup includes some of the best alternative DJs from the international circuit scene.
- Enjoy over the top drag acts, the beefiest gogos and the sexiest boys from around the world.
Circuit Parties
- Typically, the following circuit parties hold their events at The Cuff Festival including Bearracuda Seattle Pride Block Party, Horsemeat Disco (based in London, UK) and Bears in Space.
- Adding to the allure of this Pride festival are top tier DJs, drag queens, go-go dancers, and porn stars. Don your leathers, flag your hankies, and let loose!
The Venue
- Cuff Festival takes place inside and outside along 13th Ave between Pike and Pine. Cuff Seattle is Seattle’s Premier Gay Night Club featuring Local, National & International DJ Talent.
- The block party features a live stage, dance podiums, several bars and one of the best party atmospheres in the city.
- The Cuff is located in the heart of the gay district with 3 bars and a large outdoor patio, a 4-minute drive from Capitol Hill.
- The Capitol Hill neighbourhood is just east of downtown has long been the city’s gay epicentre, with rainbow-painted crosswalks and many ways to dive into the LGBTQ scene.
