Best known for organizing the annual Portland Waterfront Pride Festival and Parade, Pride Northwest works to bring visibility to, celebrate, and support the contributions of the Pacific Northwest's LGBT community. In addition to the Pride Festival and Parade, we work with the city of Portland and other partners, to improve the safety and livability of Portland for the LGBT community. We also directly support other LGBT organizations through direct resources, a below cost festival presence, and other support.
As a member of the Oregon Cultural Trust, Pride Northwest strives to shine the spotlight on and to celebrate the diverse culture of our LGBT community. Pride Northwest is active year round!
