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 is independent and locally owned, offering a personalized, design-forward stay that’s effortlessly comfortable. Everything is intentional, from the sleek modern-meets-rustic design to the small touches.
