Oregon Leather Pride is a 10 day celebration started in the early 2000’s with the first organizing meeting in 2003.
This week traditionally took place every summer during the first half of August. This week of events is coordinated by representatives from various organizations in the Oregon Leather Community. It is a way we decentralise power in the community and build intersectional events!
