Pride, Turned all the way up
Winter PrideFest is Central Oregon’s boldest Winter celebration, bringing the LGBTQ+ community and allies together for a weekend packed with drag performances, DJs, comedy, bingo, nightlife, and unforgettable events across Bend and beyond. Designed to celebrate Pride in the heart of Winter, Winter PrideFest blends nationally recognized performers with beloved local talent, creating an experience that’s equal parts party and community. With multiple events, hotel deals, and Mt. Bachelor discounts available, Winter PrideFest is your invitation to celebrate loudly, dance freely, and experience winter pride like nowhere else.
Founded by OUT Central Oregon, Winter PrideFest is not only a celebration of Pride and inclusivity, but also the organization’s largest annual fundraiser, directly supporting year-round LGBTQ+ programs and advocacy in Central Oregon. Since its start in 2018, the festival has grown from 150 local participants to welcoming nearly 3,000 attendees in 2026 from across the United States and internationally. Winter PrideFest also plays a meaningful role in supporting local tourism and the Central Oregon economy, bringing visitors to local hotels, restaurants, venues, and outdoor recreation during the Winter season. Built by community and powered by purpose, Winter PrideFest creates lasting impact while celebrating connection, visibility, and pride.

Waypoint Hotel: An OFFICIAL Hotel Sponsor of Winter PrideFest!
What was once a sleepy roadside motel is now Bend's premier design-forward boutique retreat—and we are thrilled to partner with our friends at the Campfire Hotel to be your official home base for Winter PrideFest!
We’ve traded "distressed" for effortlessly cool and deeply intentional. When you aren't out celebrating, our cozy-meets-modern sanctuary is the ultimate spot to unwind and connect. Come thaw out on our beautiful warm patio and swap stories around one of our three outdoor fire pits. Hungry? Grab a delicious bite from the Manzanita food cart. Thirsty? Pop into the Hosmer Bar to keep the festive spirits flowing.
Come as you are, stay in style, and do you at the center of it all!
