Walker Stadium (Lents Park)
4727 SE 92nd Ave, Portland, OR 97266Portland Pickles Pride Night 2026 brings LGBTQ+ baseball fans out to Walker Stadium on Thursday, July 16, as the city's beloved summer-collegiate Pickles host the Gresham Greywolves with first pitch at 7:05 p.m. It is one of the most fun, family-friendly, and affordable ways to celebrate Pride in Portland — a laid-back night at the ballpark in the Lents neighborhood surrounded by a rainbow-clad crowd. The Pickles lean all the way into Pride Night, with themed festivities, community partners, and a welcoming, all-ages atmosphere throughout the park, presented by Straightaway Cocktails. You do not need to know a thing about baseball to have a great time — grab a beer or a soda, a hot dog, and a seat in the summer evening air, and soak up one of the most charming small-ballpark experiences in the Northwest. Gates typically open about an hour before first pitch. Tickets start around just $5, making this one of the best-value entries on the Portland Pride 2026 calendar, and they are worth buying in advance for a popular Pride-week game. Walker Stadium sits at 4727 SE 92nd Avenue in Lents Park, reachable on the MAX Green Line to Lents Town Center and a short walk, which beats hunting for parking in the neighborhood. Bring a layer for when the sun drops, cash for concessions, and a group of friends or the whole chosen family. Relaxed, cheap, and genuinely fun, Pickles Pride Night is the easygoing way to open Portland Pride week.
