Pride has been celebrated in Portland since the early 1970s, with the first outdoor celebration in 1976. In 1994, Pride Northwest was founded by Eric Brown, at the request of previous organizers, in the hopes of providing a long term stable steward for Portland Pride for many years to come. Now a year-round organization, Pride Northwest has programs that work to uplift the visibility of LGBTQIA2S+ people in Oregon and SW Washington, educate allies and workplaces on LGBTQIA2S+ issues, and celebrate the successes of groups and individuals in the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
