ADMISSION COST:
$7 Donation – purchase VIP pass or use exact change for faster entry. Pride Northwest is committed to providing an open, accessible festival for the entire LGBTQ community and our friends, families and allies. We ask for a $7 donation to help cover the costs of providing this valuable and necessary community gathering. But we do not turn away anyone for their inability to pay. You may donate as much as you can toward the festival operations.

FOOD & BEVERAGE SERVICE:
There are a number of diverse, renowned food, snack and beverage vendors on-site this year. No food or beverages may be brought onto the festival grounds. If you plan on visiting the alcohol service area, you will need to present a legal ID.

ACCESSIBILITY:
The Portland Pride Festival at Tom McCall Waterfront Park is accessible by those using a wheelchair or other mobility devices. We have also provided accessible portable bathroom facilities on-site. If you are driving, you will want to use the U Park parking lot directly across from the festival. A map is shown HERE.

Also, we provide ASL interpretive services on the Main Stage through our partner, Deaf & Hearing Outreach (DHOR).

HOW TO GET TO THE FESTIVAL:
The festival is held at Tom McCall Waterfront Park along Naito Parkway in Downtown Portland between SW Pine Street and The Morrison Bridge.

Since there is very little parking, Pride Northwest encourages everyone to use Tri-met and take the MAX to the Oak/SW 1st Ave station (Stop ID 8380) which is served by the Blue Yellow and Red Lines.

- SW 2nd and Oak
