The Portland Pride parade draws tens of thousands of people from across the region- celebrating the diversity and resilience of our LGBTQIA2S+ community.

This years theme: “Made with Pride” captures the essence of creativity and entrepreneurship in the Portland LGBTQ2SIA+ community while reminding everyone of the historical roots of Pride as a protest.
