GET IN, LOSER. WE'RE GOING TO LIBERTY PARK!
We are thrilled to announce that this year's festival is hosted by the icon himself, Daniel Franzese (Damian from Mean Girls!). Get ready for a day that is, dare we say, too gay to function.

Why It Matters
Hillsboro Pride is more than an event - it’s a statement.
In rural communities, visibility and connection can change lives. This festival creates a space where LGBTQ+ individuals and allies can gather openly, safely, and proudly.
This is what community looks like.
