The Equality Community Center is thrilled to partner with the State Theatre and Coast 93.1 to continue the long standing tradition of the Saturday night dance party benefit during #PridePortland weekend.

The Big GAY Dance Party is back and promises to be bigger and gayer than ever as we turn the State Theatre into the biggest dance floor in the city!! With the ever increasing attacks against our community, this year’s Pride celebration will be a chance to be with the community and re-charge for the work that lays ahead.

Have no doubt this will be the Pride party of the year with the two amazing DJs, sexy go-go dancers, some fierce dance performances, VIP lounge, and announcing our VERY special guest…….can we get a drumroll please…...Plane Jane, finalist of Season 16 of RuPaul’s Drag Race!

And to make the night and Pride weekend even more meaningful, every dollar raised through ticket sales and sponsorships will directly support the ECC’s capital campaign to break ground on our new affordable housing complex for LGBTQ+ older adults and their allies, to be located right next to the Center in downtown Portland!
