Portland's Pride celebrations extend beyond the July parade, starting in June with various community events and gatherings. Notably, CC Slaughters, a longstanding nightclub, announced its closure, marking an impactful moment in local Pride festivities. Among the planned events are gatherings for femme and nonbinary electronic musicians at Synth Library and an exhibition celebrating the history of drag artistry, anchored by the book Legends of Drag. As Pride Month unfolds, the community is encouraged to contribute to the growing list of events, further enhancing the celebratory spirit.
