The Equality Community Center is thrilled to once again partner with the State Theatre and Coast 93.1 to host the BIGGEST and GAYEST dance party benefit in the state during #PridePortland weekend!

Community Safety: The safety of our community is our highest priority. The State Theatre’s regular security protocols are already top notch, but we will be holding additional meetings with the security staff to make sure we are doing ALL we can to ensure the safety of the venue and all our guests. We willl also be in regular communication with Pride Portland and local law enforcement agencies to respond to any safety concerns that may arise around Pride weekend. Further updates will be provided as we continue planning.
