Hood River Winter PrideFest Returns Feb 28 - March 2

Visit Hood River announces the return of the Hood River Winter PrideFest, Feb. 28-March 2, for its second annual celebration of Hood River’s LGBTQ+ community and visitors. The weekend's events, influenced by Hood River's winter recreation and cultural richness, provide an inclusive and welcoming experience for all to participate. 

Drawing on inspiration from the ancient legends of the native Klickitat people, who revered love as the force that shaped the nearby iconic peaks of Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Saint Helens, 

Visit Hood River is again partnering with the Columbia Gorge Pride Alliance and local businesses to organize vibrant events and lodging specials for what has become a can’t-miss celebration.

“Winter PrideFest not only celebrates and highlights the local and visiting LGBTQ+ community, it reflects Visit Hood River’s commitment to inclusivity and fostering a welcoming atmosphere for all,” said Katie Kadlub, CEO of Visit Hood River. “From the outdoor adventure of skiing at Mt. Hood Meadows to vibrant events including music, drag, cinema, and more, we invite attendees to fully immerse themselves in a weekend rejoicing in inclusive community and the natural beauty of Hood River.”
