OUT Central Oregon presents: Winter PrideFest 2026 ⛷️✨💋

🏔️ Winter PrideFest 2026
📅 March 5 – 8, 2026 | 📍 Bend, Oregon

Pack your parka and your party pants — Winter PrideFest is sliding back into Bend for a four-day celebration of Pride, powder, and pure fabulousness! From slope-side shenanigans to late-night dance floors, it’s the Pacific Northwest’s ultimate 2SLGBTQ+ winter experience. What started in 2018 with just 150 brave souls has snowballed into more than 2,400 attendees — and 2026 is ready to raise the altitude and the attitude.

This year’s lineup? Absolutely stacked:

🎉 Thursday, Mar 5 – Kick-Off Party at UPP Liquids
Start strong with DJs, drinks, and a drag lineup that’ll melt the snow: Tila Pia, Heavy Cream, Riley Burrows, Puanani Posse, Aspen Meadows, and Violet Hex.

💖 Friday, Mar 6 – Pink Party
The free welcome bash returns — a DJ-driven, dance-ready, glitter-friendly mixer featuring Tila Pia, Lylac Does Drag, and Jayla Rose.

😂 Friday Night – Queer Comedy Night @ Tower Theatre
Comedy, but make it queer. Why not add some burlesque? Queer Comedy Night takes over the historic Tower Theatre in downtown Bend/ Hosted by Shanan Kelley, featuring Angélique de Villbée, Ren Q Comedy, and more! And yes… our burlesque performers will be there to turn up the heat and keep things delightfully unpredictable. Come for the comedy, stay for the sparkle!

🎿 Saturday – Ski OUT on Mt. Bachelor and Dance Party at the Lodge

✨ Saturday Night – Snow Ball: The White Party @ Midtown Ballroom
Snow Ball: The White Party is the dazzling grand finale of Winter PrideFest 2026! Dress in your fiercest white and step into a blizzard of lights, beats, and drag brilliance as Miz Cracker headlines alongside Tila Pia, Riley Burrows, Heavy Cream, and DJ Sappho. ✨ Dress Code: White attire encouraged — think snow chic, ice glam, or full-on frosty fantasy.
