Since 2018, OUT Central Oregon has hosted Winter PrideFest to celebrate Pride, Inclusivity, and our combined love of the outdoors. Growing from 150 participants in 2018 to over 1,400 participants in 2023, Winter PrideFest offers a full weekend of fun and inspiring Winter events.
For 2024, staple events like Ski OUT on the Mountain, Wigs! An Icebreaker, and our Winter PrideFest™ Dance Party will continue. Starting off the weekend, our Welcoming "Snocial" will now be hosted in one location, right in the heart of the beautiful Old Mill District! Plus, we've added more including a Queer Comedy Night featuring nationally renowned comedian, Dana Goldberg!
Check out what’s in store below and stay tuned for additional updates!
Join us as we welcome RuPaul's Drag Race superstar WILLAM to host the Welcoming 'Snocial', WIGS - An Icebreaker! ice-skating event, and headline performances at the Winter PrideFest™ dance party!

Combining her gift of humor with humanitarian efforts, Goldberg has raised over 40 million dollars for non-profits around the country in the fight for marriage equality, LGBT rights, women’s health, and HIV and AIDS education and prevention. Dana is currently the host of "Out in Left Field" and Co-Host of the "Daily Beans" Podcast.
As the youngest child in a single parent household run by a Jewish mother in which two of three kids are gay, Goldberg helps keep most of the comedy venues and half of the psychotherapists in the country in business.
Central Oregon celebrates Winter Pridefest as a demonstration of our community’s commitment to an inclusive environment where all are welcome. Similar to the more traditional June Pride events, Winter Pridefest recognizes and commemorates the LGBTQ+ activism embodied during the Stonewall Riots on June 1969. Without the sacrifices made during this early protest, particularly those sacrifices made by the Trans and BIPOC communities of New York City, the progress accomplished over the past 5 decades would not have been possible.
Have fun during Winter Pridefest but also ensure we reflect on those who have allowed our community to exist and flourish.
We are offering a discounted rate for LGBTQ+ members of the community to purchase OUT Central Oregon-hosted event tickets in an effort to make our events more accessible to our community.
Our committee is still in need of volunteers for brief shifts at some of our events. Volunteers will receive access to the OUT Central Oregon-hosted events.
Oregon Adaptive Sports creates access to high-quality outdoor recreation experiences for individuals with disabilities. If you (or your partner/family member/friend) want to ski or snowboard at Pridefest and experience a permanent disability, OAS can help create that access!
Participation in these lessons is provided at no cost by the folks at Oregon Adaptive Sports! Be sure to mention you are attending Winter PrideFest.
