Gaylabration actively raises funds to support the LGBTQ Community's health, education, safety, and equality via charity dance events.

The first Gaylabration was launched in 2011, following the passage of marriage equality legislation in New York, to celebrate love and community. While the United States continued denying same-sex couples in Oregon and throughout the nation the right to wed, the community united to support marriage equality. With LGBT rights still an issue, unite again in celebration and support. Gaylabration has also evolved to become the featured Saturday night dance party of Pride Weekend. It has expanded its mission to enhance the dance music scene in Portland by bringing in premier DJs and production.

The Gaylabration Portland Pride Event is an annual dance party and fundraiser taking pride in celebrating the diversity of love and relationships in our community. All profits from that event support fulfilling the Pride Northwest core mission along with Our House and New Avenues for Youth.
