Portland Pride Waterfront Festival

LGBTQIA2S+ Maker’s Market

As a part of our commitment to uplift and showcase the talents of the LGBTQIA2S+ community we are creating our first ever Maker’s Market area within the Portland Pride Waterfront Festival. Tables in the 2SLGBTQIA+ Maker’s Market are for solo, independent artists (photography, drawing, painting, etc.) and makers.

We recognize the importance of supporting and amplifying the work of historically underrepresented communities, particularly Black, Indigenous, and communities of color.
