Setting sail on a sea-worthy celebration of love
On May 30, 2024, we set sail upon Puget Sound in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Seattle Pride. It was a night of food, drinks, dancing, a special vow renewal ceremony, and so much more aboard an Argosy Cruises ship. All ticket proceeds benefitted the GSBA Scholarship & Education Fund, which supports LGBTQIA+ and allied students.
At the end of the night, 56 couples renewed their vows, setting a new world record. Details of this special night can be found below.
There’s a lot to love about Seattle on the water—especially with your partner.
Renew your vows in a special sunset ceremony aboard an Argosy Cruises ship! The ceremony will be performed by Washington Supreme Court Justice Mary Yu. Justice Yu, Washington’s first openly gay Asian American and Latina justice, officiated the first same-sex marriages in Washington state.

Missing a party like this? Total drag.
The fabulous BenDeLaCreme will be our hostess with the most-est—emceeing and performing on this special night.
What’s a great party without great food and drinks?
Local beer, local wine, and local bites will be served throughout the evening—plus you’ll walk away with one-of-a-kind gift bags from a variety of local LGBTQIA+-owned businesses.
“Our diversity makes us stronger, which is why we must send a clear message to our LGBTQIA+ community today and every day: we see you, we support you, and you belong here.”
