Each year, Kalamazoo Pride brings together an estimated 8,000+ people of all ages, genders, sexual orientations, and racial identities from Southwest Michigan and beyond to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride. The two-day festival at Kalamazoo’s Arcadia Creek Festival Place features show-stopping drag performances, incredible music, exhibitors, food, dancing, and more. Pride is the opposite of shame and social stigma – and Kalamazoo Pride is a way to raise our visibility, galvanize our victories and come together as a community so we all may live OutFront.
