Portland Pride 2025

Like so many of our wonderful small plates restaurants, Portland “does things a little differently” when it comes to celebrating Pride month. The big hoorah that is the Waterfront Pride Festival and Parade moved to July a few years back because of scheduling conflicts, including with the Rose Festival and Juneteenth celebrations. In doing so, the hope was to stretch the party across not. Taking place at Tom McCall Waterfront Park on July , , the event attracts tens of thousands of visitors from across the Pacific Northwest and beyond! Attendees can explore booths, meet local artisans, and enjoy food vendors and entertainment.
