June is Pride Month. Portland has a variety of events to celebrate our LGBTQ+ community. 

Did you know Pride has been celebrated in Portland since the early 1970s? Portland’s long history of acceptance and inclusion is honored throughout the year with many LGBTQ+ events.

During Pride Month, our city and metro area proudly shows its stripes with a multitude of events celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. 

This year, several events are taking place in July. I’ve included events in and around Portland. 

Here is a list of events open to all during Pride Month. Do you know of a fun Pride event? Send me an email with the details.
