We’re looking for dykes on bikes (scooters, bicycles, strollers, roller skates or blades!), drummers and others to make music and sound to accompany the marchers. Bring your group banner, wear your team or professional uniform, or carry dyke-positive signs. Want to help out the Dyke March and volunteer? We need crossing guards to post at intersections along the march route – this is a great way for our allies to help!

And don’t forget our friends, the Kings of the Hill, are putting on their pride weekend show, “Rainbow Fried Circus” on June 18 and 19 at Portland Stage! If you have tickets to the Friday night show, come to the Dyke March, go see the Kings and then join us at the after party! If you have tickets to the Saturday night show, the Portland Dyke March committee will be your ushers! Info and tickets online here.
