Portland Pride 2025 Oregon

Info

Portland Pride Waterfront Festival and Parade takes place over the weekend of 19/20th July 2025.

Pride has been celebrated in Portland since the early 1970s, with the first outdoor celebration in 1976. Pride Northwest, Inc. has organised the annual Portland Pride Waterfront Festival and Parade since 1994. The Portland Pride Festival is the single, the largest visibility avenue for our region’s LGBTQ+ community organisations and businesses, where they can attract new supporters and clients, increase their volunteer base, and raise much needed funds. In addition, the festival attracts thousands of visitors to Portland each year, bringing significant revenue to the local LGBTQ+ business community and to the city, as a whole. LGBTQ+ community members travel here from all over the Pacific Northwest to celebrate themselves and each other, in what is often the only safe and open environment that they may experience for the year. Pride Northwest is particularly committed to providing the Pride celebration, in order to create a safe and celebratory environment for our young people. Not only do things get better, Pride is what better looks like.
