We are pleased to share this year’s efforts (so far) to make Pride 2026 as accessible as possible: www.eugenepride.org/accessibility

While some of these measures have been in place for many years, others are new to the event in 2026. Eugene Pride takes an intersectional approach in our efforts to create better access at the event, and we are pleased to have a team of volunteers helping out on our Accessibility Committee. We are grateful for their time and energy!

Some highlights include ASL on our stages and at our information booth, free food offered during the event, a sensory space to get away from the crowds, a large, accessible parking area, free bus passes to the event from LTD, sliding scale ticket prices, flat and level surfaces for navigating with a mobility device and many other efforts.

You may have seen a survey we perviously posted to gather suggestions for how to make the festival more accessible. That survey is still open, and you can complete it at this link: www.bit.ly/pride-accessibility

***Please note: our accessibility team is reviewing responses and incorporating feedback into the event. This page is only a start and does not include all feedback currently received.***

Eugene Pride is organized and produced by a dedicated team of volunteers, including elders, people with disabilities and disabled people, queer, trans and nonbinary people and others with intersecting and overlapping identities. Can we do better? There are always ways to improve. Please join us if you'd like to help!
