About the event

The Grand Rapids Pride Festival is returning for it's 36th year and we are excited to announce that our theme is Queer is Natural! In the face of policies and agendas that put our existence into question or harms way, we aim to curate a stage that is diverse, vibrant, and reverberates our voices throughout the crowd for all to hear; showing that not only is our 2-SLGBTQ+ community natural, but here to continue to push the needle forward. Our focus is not only to support local businesses and artists, we also want to work to create a safe, open and inclusive environment for Grand Rapids community members to celebrate who they are! At the festival you will find… 100+ Vendors Beer Garden (including non alcoholic drinks!) Entertainment Family & Children’s Activities Food Trucks Local Artists Sensory Space Teen/Youth Activities
