Havurah Shalom

Havurah Shalom and Shir Tikvah and friends will be marching together under our banner(s) for the 2025 Portland Pride Parade!

Please scroll down and RSVP/register ASAP.

Important:

- Our Havurah Shalom & Shir Tikvah contingent starting point will be on NW Davis (between NW 9th and 10th).

- Once you're on NW Davis (between NW 9th & 10th), look for our group. To help folks find our Havurah Shalom and Shir Tikvah group at our starting point, we'll be holding up two tall bike safety flags, a blue flag and a green flag!

- Havurah Shalom and Shir Tikvah members, you're welcome to bring friends!

- The parade organizers have asked all our marchers to be at our downtown starting point by 10:45 am. 

- After we get in place at our starting point, we expect to have to wait for the parade to start. We hope we'll only be waiting for 60 to 90 minutes. While we wait for the parade to actually start moving, we'll all get to schmooze and enjoy one another's company.

- Make sure you are prepared for the parade. Please plan to bring your own drinking water, snacks/food for you, sunscreen/sun protection (and other weather-appropriate clothing), and anything else you might need to be safe and comfortable in the parade. Feel free to bring a camping chair to sit in if you'd prefer not to stand while we wait for the parade to start, just also be prepared to carry anything you bring once we start moving. We don't plan to have a vehicle in the parade, so we'll just be a walking parade contingent.

- We'll have some pride flags you can wave, if you'd like.

- If you have questions, suggestions, or requests, please reach out to Tara Anderson (tara@havurahshalom.org).

- If you put your cell phone number in the registration notes, below, it will make it easier to meet up on the day of the parade.

Thank you again for scrolling down and registering/RSVPing soon! (Go ahead and join us even if you can't RSVP.)

We hope to march with you, and we wish you a Happy Pride!
