The Hotel Zags
515 SW Clay St, Portland, OR 97201The 3rd Annual Pride Market 2026 kicks off Portland's Pride season at The Hotel Zags on Saturday, June 13, from noon to 6 p.m. This free, all-ages market is a feel-good afternoon of shopping local and supporting LGBTQ+ and Gay Friendly makers, listed as an official Portland Pride event well ahead of the big July festival weekend. Set at the stylish, pet-friendly Hotel Zags just south of downtown, the market gathers dozens of LGBTQ+ artists, crafters, and small businesses offering art, prints, apparel, jewelry, candles, and small-batch goods — ideal for picking up a Pride gift or treating yourself early in the season. Expect a lively, welcoming vibe with music and the hotel's easygoing hospitality, making it a relaxed way to connect with the community and put your dollars directly into the hands of local LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs. Admission is free, so it is an easy, low-commitment outing whether you stop by for ten minutes or stay to browse every booth. The Hotel Zags sits at 515 SW Clay Street near the South Park Blocks and the waterfront, an easy walk from the Portland Streetcar and MAX, so leave the car behind. Bring cash and cards since not every vendor takes plastic, and a reusable bag for your finds. Coming more than a month before the parade, the Pride Market is a warm, community-first way to start celebrating Portland Pride 2026 early and to discover the makers who give the city's LGBTQ+ scene its creative edge.
