The 6th Annual Prideville Festival is set to take place on June 28, 2026, in Prineville, Oregon, at Pioneer Park. This free event will run from noon to 5 p.m. and will celebrate community, visibility, and belonging with the theme ‘Small Town, Big Pride.’ The festival is designed to be an all-ages, substance-free, and family-friendly celebration, aiming to foster connection, inclusion, and support for LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies.

Festival Activities

Attendees can expect a vibrant afternoon featuring local vendors, community organizations, performers, and sponsors. New experiences for this year’s festival include a free photo booth, interactive aerial arts demonstrations, and participation opportunities. A fashion workshop and lawn games where attendees can connect and play with Prideville’s Queens and Kings are also planned.

Prideville Board President Alia Fern emphasized the importance of creating a welcoming space for everyone. ‘Prideville exists to create a welcoming space where everyone can celebrate who they are and connect with their community,’ Fern said. ‘This year’s theme reminds us that Pride shines brightly in small towns and that every person deserves to feel seen, valued, and supported.’

Since its founding, Prideville has grown into a signature community event in Prineville, bringing together residents and visitors to celebrate inclusion, strengthen community connections, and support LGBTQIA+ visibility in Crook County and beyond.
