A Dragon Awakens…

The time is upon us, time to take flight-

This weekend, Dragon’s Landing takes over Downtown Renton with live jousting & fencing, artisan vendors, hands-on activities, and the Awakening Ceremony all under the watchful eye of our very own Erasmus.

Come see us at S 3rd St & Wells Ave! Don’t forget to check out the live map of everything the event has to offer on the event website!

Bring your friends. Bring your love. Bring your sense of adventure. 🐉🔥

Member Event – Pride in the Park

Join us for Pride in the Park on Saturday, August 2nd from 11am to 3pm at Cedar River Tail Park! This is a casual, low-key gathering for LGBTQIA+ folks, families, and allies to relax, connect, and enjoy the outdoors together. No stage, no vendors—just a peaceful space to be in community.

Bring your own lunch or picnic blanket and settle in! We’ll have some snacks and drinks available to share, and plenty of shade by the river. Whether you stay for a few minutes or the whole afternoon, we’d love to see you there.
