Chances are when you think of Portland, or the state of Oregon as a whole, images of thick forests, lumberjacks and lots of rain come to mind. Sure, the lingering wet winters are responsible for Portland's lush greenery and colorful springtime, and those with fantasies of meeting bearded, flannel shirt clad logger-types will find plenty to choose from. But this "City of Roses" is also a beautiful and culturally diverse city that has managed to retain a small town feel.

LOCAL EVENTS (see all)
Pride celebrations have been held in Portland since the 1970's. In 1994, the original board of directors of Pride Northwest created a 501c3 organization and held their first meeting. Since that time, the board and the event has grown considerably.
Today, Pride Northwest is made up of a dynamic group of individuals from many different backgrounds who are dedicated to providing a venue for the queer community to gather and celebrate. The mission of Pride Northwest, Inc. is to encourage and celebrate the positive diversity of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer communities, and to assist in the education of all people through the development of activities that showcase the history, accomplishments, and talents of these communities.
