Summer in Portland means festivals, community events, live entertainment, and Pride celebrations taking place throughout downtown and across the city.
This July, the Portland Pride Waterfront Festival and the Portland Pride Parade will once again bring huge crowds, local vendors, performances, and colorful celebrations to downtown Portland. Scheduled for July 18–19 along the waterfront and surrounding downtown streets, Pride weekend is one of the city’s biggest and most energetic summer events.
Throughout July, downtown Portland comes alive with Pride-themed gatherings, nightlife events, music, community celebrations, and activities happening across the city.
