Step into a world of joy and mountain magic at Mt. Hood Pride: QUEER CARNIVAL! Join us on June 21, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at Coffee House 26 in Welches for a one-of-a-kind celebration that honors the diverse spirit of the mountain corridor, from Sandy all the way to Government Camp.

At its heart, Mt. Hood Pride is about belonging. This is a substance-free and family-friendly event, ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for neighbors of all ages to celebrate together. We are also proud to use this platform for a purpose: all proceeds from our event raffle will be donated directly to The Trevor Project, supporting life-saving crisis services for LGBTQ+ youth.

This year’s theme, "Queer Carnival," brings a festive "Midway" atmosphere to the heart of the forest. Whether you’re browsing unique handmade goods from local makers, enjoying live music, or challenging friends to classic carnival games, there is something for everyone to enjoy. We’re creating a space that is as vibrant as a summer day on the mountain—complete with delicious food and drinks, family-fun activities, and a deep focus on community connection.
