Anna Parade is a queer-owned small business aiming to make art and merch that helps you feel seen and celebrated. We are committed to making the world a more welcoming and colorful place.

About Anna: Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Anna Vos, and I’m the owner of Anna Parade. My friend Fanny says, and I quote, “ANNA IS A SOFT HUMAN RAINBOW AND IS FAT QUEER JOY PERSONIFIED.” (I did not add the all-caps.) So yeah, I like belly-laughing and running outside after a rain to find the rainbows and gardening and talking late into the night around a fire and playing board games.

It is my absolute privilege to get to do this — make art and talk about softness and tenderness and queerness. In the last five years, I have discovered I am both queer and neurodivergent, and making all this art is making it possible for me to make sense of all that and share my journey. Thanks for coming along the parade route with me. -Anna
