Blow Pony

Blow Pony—Portland’s longest-running freaky monthly queer dance party—has been too big to contain since its grimy warehouse days.

The welcoming, unpretentious vibe extends to all members of the LGBTQ+ community. With its intricate pavilions, tranquil lake, and lush plantings, it offers a peaceful escape and a window into Chinese culture and horticulture. A short hike leads to the much-photographed Benson Bridge, providing an up-close view of the cascading water.

Both inside and out, bold colors and playful design create a vibe that’s fun, welcoming, and unmistakably Portland. The best time to visit is still late spring through early fall when the weather is mild and the city’s outdoor events come alive. Dancers of all experiences and expressions shake whatever they got.
