Seattle is ringing in its 50-year anniversary of Pride this month. This year's festivities include a parade downtown on Sunday, June 30 and PrideFest Street festival in Capitol Hill on Saturday June, 29, among other events.

Fifty years ago, more than 200 LGBTQIA+ community members gathered publicly in Seattle as an act of resistance, wrote Seattle Pride. Their purpose in gathering as a collective was to "expel shame and to stand in defiance of those who wished to keep us hidden and disempowered," the organization said.

This year's pride theme is a reflection of the "unwavering resilience" of the LGBTQ+ community and "an embodiment of our 1974's community echoing cry: NOW!" according to Seattle Pride.

Here's what you'll need to know about catching Seattle's Pride festivities this year:
