Rainbow Roots: Queer History in Corvallis

Whether you're part of the LGBTQIA+ community, an ally, or simply curious to learn more about Corvallis’ rich and often overlooked history, this Pride Month experience is for you.  

Join us for a guided walking tour through downtown Corvallis, where stories of local LGBTQIA+ lives and activism come to life. Spanning over a century of history—from quiet acts of courage to bold movements for change—Rainbow Roots reveals moments and people who shaped the queer experience in this community.

We launch from the temperature-controlled Marriot Lobby and have some protection from the sky along the route.

Come discover 120 years of resilience, resistance, and community in the heart of the Willamette Valley.

Other 2026 Corvallis Pride events include June 7th at Avery Park and The Biere Library.  The Corvallis-Benton Public Library also has events throughout the month.
