Curate the 2026 Stage!

What does joy sound like? Our Entertainment committee spends the year scouting talent and designing the "flow" of the festival. We need people who are passionate about the arts to help us build a diverse, high-energy lineup of entertainment.

We need planners to help us:

Develop a lineup for entertainment like trivia, karaoke, and LGBTQ+ performers.

Plan the technical requirements (sound, power, staging) for the Gazebo.

Design the 2026 Parade route and schedule.

If you have experience in event production, talent booking, or performing arts, help us set the stage for Pride!

Ensure Pride is for Everyone.

We heard the feedback loud and clear! Philomath Pride has some work to do to make sure every aspect of the festival is inclusive and welcoming to everyone- and we mean EVERYONE. The Equity & Accessibility committee will be connecting with community members and organizations to identify how to make the festival enjoyable for everybody.

We need planners to help us:

Audit our festival plans for ADA compliance and sensory inclusion.

Arrange the 2026 Zen Den (our low-sensory space).

Consult on inclusive language and community-wide accessibility guides.

If you are an advocate for social justice, a specialist in neurodiversity, or someone committed to unlearning and equity, we need your voice in the planning phase.

Help us lead with inclusion. Use this link to join the team! https://forms.gle/vmXmoyrnjHHwq1Cd6

Let’s build something beautiful!

Ever wonder how a quiet park turns into a vibrant festival overnight? That’s the heavy lifting of the Logistics committee. These are the hands-on heroes who handle the physical setup, the floor plan, and the "nitty-gritty" that makes the day run smoothly.

We need your help to:

Design the 2026 Site Map and booth layout.

Coordinate the "Load-in" and "Load-out" (tents, tables, and chairs).

Solve on-the-fly puzzles (like where to plug in a bubble machine!).

If you’re a "get-it-done" person who likes being active and working with your hands, come help us transform Philomath City Park for the day!

Plan the flavor of the festival!

Food brings us together, but getting the right vendors and managing feeding a festival takes careful planning. Our Food Committee works months in advance to ensure our festival supports local businesses and feeds our neighbors.

We need planners to help us:

Work with current food vendors and recruit new one for plenty of options.

Manage vendor set up, health and safety strategies, and layout logistics.

If you have a background in hospitality, event catering, or food justice, we need your expertise to fuel our community!

Build the team that makes the magic happen.

The best festivals are powered by happy, organized people. Our Volunteer Coordination committee doesn't just "find people", they design the volunteer experience. We need planners to build the systems that support our community workers.

We need planners to help us:

Design volunteer roles and develop communication plans for each committee.

Manage our recruitment database and communication tools.

Recruit and onboard 'day-of' volunteers.

If you have experience in HR, project management, or team building, your skills will ensure our volunteers feel supported and ready.

Shape the story of Philomath Pride!

How do we tell the world that Philomath is a place of belonging? That’s the job of our Marketing & Outreach Committee. We are looking for a creative team to build our 2026 campaign from the ground up.

We need planners to help us:

Design our 2026 social media plan and event signage.

Create a multi-month social media and press release schedule.

Build outreach strategies to connect with rural neighbors and local businesses.

If you are a writer, a designer, or a digital strategist who wants to use your skills for good, join us in the planning phase!

Safety starts with a plan.

At Philomath Pride, we believe that true safety is built on community trust and proactive care. We don’t just "show up" on June 20th; we spend months carefully planning how to keep our celebration peaceful, inclusive, and prepared for anything.

Our Safety Committee is currently looking for organizers to help us build our community care strategy for 2026. This isn't just about standing at a gate, it’s about designing the systems that keep us all thriving.

We need your help to:

Develop our Peacekeeping Strategy: Refine our de-escalation protocols and training for the Pink Flamingo Brigade.

Liaise with First Responders: Coordinate with local emergency services to ensure clear communication and park access.

Health & Wellness Planning: Strategize the placement of hydration stations, first aid hubs, and emergency exit routes.

Team Leadership: Help recruit, train, and manage the safety volunteers who will be on the ground during the festival.

If you have a background in community organizing, emergency management, social work, or simply a passion for creating safe spaces in a small-town setting, your leadership is needed.

Help us plan a festival where everyone can breathe easy. Use this link to sign up: https://forms.gle/LCERc2pSLENNHJYK6

Philomath Pride doesn’t just happen, it’s built on a foundation of strong community partnerships. Our Community Organization committee is the "behind-the-scenes" engine that works with the City of Philomath, local businesses, and regional organizations to make sure our festival has the people, the space, and the official support it needs to thrive.

We need your help to:

Act as a liaison between the Philomath Pride Collective and community organizations.

Help secure sponsorships that keep the festival free for everyone.

If you’re a natural networker, a professional organizer, or someone who just loves seeing a community project come to life from the ground up, we have a seat at the table for you!

Happy International Non-Binary People's Day!

Hey everyone! Today, July 14th, is all about celebrating non-binary folks everywhere. It's a day to shine a light on their diverse experiences, awesome contributions, and incredible resilience.

Let's keep learning, keep challenging old ideas, and keep pushing for a world where every non-binary person feels seen, respected, and totally celebrated for being themselves. Your identities are valid, your voices matter, and you make our communities so much better just by being you.
