The event was founded in 1987 and ran for 18 years, until it was replaced by the Peacock After Dark event in 2005.{{Cite web|url=http://www.travelportland.com/article/peacock-park/|title=Peacock in the Park|accessdate=June 17, 2014|publisher=Travel Portland|archive-date=July 2, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140702011802/http://www.travelportland.com/article/peacock-park/|url-status=live}} Due to popular demand, Peacock in the Park returned in 2014. It is considered family-friendly and is free to attend. Shows feature dancers, drag performances, and live music.

Portland Monthly described Peacock in the Park as "Portland's gay equivalent of the Super Bowl: thousands from the queer spectrum flocked to Washington Park's amphitheater, spread out blankets and coolers of beer, and mingled before a stage of drag and music performances".{{Cite journal|url=http://www.portlandmonthlymag.com/events/peacock-in-the-park-june-2014|title=Peacock in the Park|accessdate=June 17, 2014|journal=Portland Monthly|archive-date=July 1, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140701031250/http://www.portlandmonthlymag.com/events/peacock-in-the-park-june-2014|url-status=live}}
