Celebrate Pride in the Willamette Valley
June marks Pride Month—when events across the Willamette Valley honor, celebrate, and recognize the region's LGBTQ+ communities. In the likes of McMinnville and Newberg, for instance, Wine Country Pride hosts a bustling street fair. In Eugene, the one-day Eugene/Springfield Pride Festival brings vendors, drag queens, musicians, and other artists to the Lane Events Center in Eugene.
Share in the celebration of our LGBTQ+ communities in June during Pride Month or later this summer. Here’s a guide to Pride events throughout the Willamette Valley.

Wine Country Pride celebrates LGBTQ+ communities around McMinnville all year long, but the festivities hit their undeniable apex during Pride Month in June.
In 2026, that includes Pride on Third, a one-day street fair on Third Street in downtown McMinnville. Highlights include drag performances, nonprofits, local artists and vendors, live music, and more. Also in June is the fifth and final Queer Wine Fest, a celebration of queer-owned, -made, and -grown wines from throughout the United States. Money raised from these events supports scholarships for LGBTQ+ youth and assists local advocacy organizations.
