2026 Portland Pride Waterfront Festival and Parade
Made with Pride captures the essence of creativity and entrepreneurship in the Portland LGBTQ2SIA+ community while reminding us of the historical roots of Pride as a movement. The legacy of Pride is layered with activism stemming from; courageous protests that challenged discrimination/violence against our community, and the movement-building work that lies at the heart and origins of Pride.
As we move into 2026, Made with Pride is also a reminder that Pride is not something we produce for the community, but something we build with it. Every program, partnership, and moment of advocacy is shaped by the people we serve and the values we share. Made with Pride honors the creativity, resilience, and collective power of our community and reaffirms our commitment to showing up with intention, integrity, and heart, all year long.
Pride Northwest invites you to contribute to the collective narrative by participating in 2026’s Portland Pride Waterfront Festival and Parade, brought to you by Pride Northwest and Made with Pride!
