Eugene Pride

Volunteer at this year's Eugene/Springfield Pride Festival! We're only three days away from Pride month, and showing up to give back to your community is a great way to get the month started.

Volunteering also comes with a few perks, including free admission, a free parking pass and access to a relaxing volunteer lounge with free food and drinks to keep your energy up.

It takes hundreds of volunteers to keep the event safe and help provide access, so join a fun group of qu**rs in making the Pride happen!

Time is running out to sponsor this year's Pride festival! If you haven't signed up yet and plan to be a sponsor this year, please do so by Saturday. The sponsor application will close on June 20th!

We still have a few booth spaces left, and we expect record attendance at this year's event. Last year, more than 13,500 people attended Pride, so it's a great opportunity to connect with our local LGBTQ+ community.

Pride wouldn't happen without our sponsors, so thank you to those who have already signed up!

We are pleased to share this year’s efforts (so far) to make Pride 2026 as accessible as possible: www.eugenepride.org/accessibility

While some of these measures have been in place for many years, others are new to the event in 2026. Eugene Pride takes an intersectional approach in our efforts to create better access at the event, and we are pleased to have a team of volunteers helping out on our Accessibility Committee. We are grateful for their time and energy!

Some highlights include ASL on our stages and at our information booth, free food offered during the event, a sensory space to get away from the crowds, a large, accessible parking area, free bus passes to the event from LTD, sliding scale ticket prices, flat and level surfaces for navigating with a mobility device and many other efforts.

You may have seen a survey we perviously posted to gather suggestions for how to make the festival more accessible. That survey is still open, and you can complete it at this link: www.bit.ly/pride-accessibility

***Please note: our accessibility team is reviewing responses and incorporating feedback into the event. This page is only a start and does not include all feedback currently received.***

Eugene Pride is organized and produced by a dedicated team of volunteers, including elders, people with disabilities and disabled people, q***r, trans and nonbinary people and others with intersecting and overlapping identities. Can we do better? There are always ways to improve. Please join us if you'd like to help!

We are excited about this year’s Accessibility Team, a group of volunteers who are planning for a space dedicated to those who may need some time away from the loud, crowded, overwhelming general space of the Eugene Springfield PRIDE Festival in June. The team would like to gather suggestions for how to make the festival more accessible.

If you have ideas please use the link here to fill out a short questionnaire. We’re collecting responses for the next two weeks!

During Eugene Pride, we will have a space dedicated to those who may need some time away from the loud, crowded, overwhelming general space.
