Fremont Solstice Parade


The Fremont Solstice Parade is an annual event that occurs each June in Seattle, Washington, United States.
The Parade was founded by Barbara Luecke and Peter Toms in 1989. Luecke and Toms were inspired by the Santa Barbara Summer Solstice Parade and Celebration. The Parade distinguishes itself from other mainstream parades with the following unusual rules:
  1. No printed words, signage or recognizable logos.
  2. No live animals.
  3. No motorized vehicles
  4. No functional weapons.
The 2022 parade was scheduled for Saturday June 18. The parade was cancelled from 2020 to 2021, as announced on April 16, 2020, by the Fremont Arts Council due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
