Pendleton Oregon Pride

June 13 | Pendleton, Oregon

Pendleton Oregon Pride (P.O.P.) is a celebration of 2S/LGBTQIA+ community, joy, and belonging in Eastern Oregon. Join us June 13, 2026 for three days of creativity, connection, celebration, and Pride right here in Pendleton.

Whether you’ve lived here your whole life or are visiting for the weekend, Pride in Pendleton is about showing up for each other, celebrating who we are, and creating space where everyone belongs.

Saturday - Pride in the Streets

Saturday is the heart of Pendleton Pride.

Celebrate with our Pride Parade and Festival, bringing color, community, and joy to downtown Pendleton. Expect music, community booths, food trucks, art, and plenty of Pride.

In the evening, the celebration continues with our Drag Show, presented by Let 'er Drag. This high-energy show will feature incredible performers bringing glamour, humor, and unforgettable performances to Pride weekend.
