Pride was in the air at Drake Park on Saturday as people from around Central Oregon and beyond gathered to celebrate Central Oregon Pride 2022.

Prior to the annual festival that celebrates the LGBTQ community, OUT Central Oregon hosted a morning Bend Pride 5K Run/Walk. The 5K was followed by the Drag Dash, where drag queens and kings competed in a short race for the title of Drag Dash Darling.
