A Gift of Serenity is planning a PRIDE vending event in Tumwater in 2025

I am a queer small business owner, who has been open since 2019. I have participated in lots of vending events, a number of which have been various PRIDE events in the local PNW. Lately, I have become increasingly frustrated at the number of non queer identifying businesses at these events, capitalizing off of the LGBTQA+ community, while some small queer business owners are being overlooked and unable to get their businesses highlighted. 

I am putting together a PRIDE vendor event in Tumwater in 2025. At this event I will make it my priority to highlight our local queer owned small businesses ONLY. 

It is my hope that you will join us as a vendor at this vending event. I have secured two dates, and will have a finalized choice between these two dates in mid September. Either June 8th or June 22nd of 2025. Set up will be 8:30-10am, and the event will go from 10-3pm. There will be food for sale and local queer entertainment. 

If you are a queer owned small business and would like to participate in this event please respond to me and let me know, and/or fill out this interest form;

A Gift of Serenity was created in 2019. We are a small business local to Tumwater Washington that was opened with the intention of creating a safe space for local artists and creators to thrive, and with the intention of producing items and creating spaces for certain community members that are not always represented. The majority of things created in A gift of serenity are items and spaces that can honor Spiritual, LGBTQA+, Magick, Recovery, POC and Social Work.
