Saturday June 13th, 2026
12pm: Pride Parade
Show off your colors as we parade through downtown Salem!
We’ll be starting at the Capitol Building and ending at the Block Party on Liberty Street.
We’re shutting down the streets so we’ll be able to have vehicles, motorcycles, bikes, roller skates, and walkers. Anyone who supports or is a part of the LGBTQ+ community is welcome to join in on the parade.
12-5pm: Block Party
After the parade, we’re kicking off a celebration of Pride in downtown Salem. Find us on the two blocks of State Street between Liberty and Front for food, entertainment, tons of free activities, and more!
When can I apply?
When is the deadline?
All application forms (except for Volunteers) will close on April 30th. If we do not receive enough applicants in a particular category, the deadline for that form may be extended.
When will I hear back about my application?
All applications will be reviewed between April 30th and May 15th. We will do our best to notify applicants on or shortly after May 15th, but please be patient as we are a small group of volunteers. If the deadline for a form needs to be extended we may take a little longer to get back to you.
