Queer Creators Collective is honored to be the host of the 2023 Bend Pride in the Park!

What can you expect this year? First we kick off with the Be Gay 3k that lands you right in the middle of the festival. Then, with over 60 booths of local queer or allied artists, supportive businesses and health organizations, multiple food and beverage stations, youth-focused pop ups, incredible musical guests and our very own Pride beer by Cascade Lakes Brewing, its going to be one giant party! With increased security measures and a bold Gay Agenda, come get loud with your community and then head to the other incredible events being hosted throughout the weekend!

Pride in the Park is a FREE event for ALL ages.

The 3k has a registration fee of $25 that gets you a fancy new hat, a Pride beer from Cascade Lakes Brewing and more goodies in your included bag!

Pride this year has been funded by you, our queer and allied community. Not only did you raise funds to make the festival safer, brighter and louder, you raised scholarship money for young queer artists seeking an education in the creative arts. Go you! Our world will grow into the bright, inclusive and accessible future we've all been dreaming of because of how you showed up this year.

Then! Join us at STRANDED: A Queer Art & Fashion Show the next night to help us decide this year's scholarship recipients
