2024 Festival Schedule

Festival Kickoff

Join us at the waterfront for a short Opening Ceremony right at Noon. In addition to marking the day, we’ll review where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going as an organization, all thanks to YOU!
Then, DJ Jason will get us going, and the Vendors and Food Trucks will be in full swing all day!

Kid’s Area

This year’s kids area is PACKED with entertainment!
Your young people can enjoy everything from a bounce house to yard games to art projects and more. Get your cameras ready for the life-size Barbie and Ken photo-opportunities and dancing with Michigan Autobots! Or, a bit more low-key with rock painting for a Monarch Waystation, a Swifty Corner for friendship bracelets, and a reading nook. And so..much…more!
Located near the splash pad, east of the stage. See the map for specifics. (Map coming soon.)

Pride Food Court

Come hungry because we’ve almost doubled our food vendors this year to serve you this year! Food vendors will be located near the stadium as well as the north end of the festival on the other side of the Market!

Photo Booth

A free souvenir of the day! Come take silly photos with your crew (or solo!) to remember the day. Photos are delivered digitally so you can’t lose ’em! 😉

Pride Market

Wander through the expanded market of over 100 makers, artists, and organizations! Our Pride Market exists to celebrate our LGBTQ+ business owners and artists while also providing access to community resources and businesses that want to see our queer community thrive!

Drag Show – Hosted by Veronica Scott and DeeDee Chaunte

If you’ve seen their show in the community, or caught these Queens at last year’s Pride, you know this is a can’t-miss! We’ll see ya down here – remember to tip your queens!

With appearances by Kimberly Denae Korruption, Alex Suarez, Cocky Divine, Miss Moscato, and Reba Rose Rau

Featuring: DJ Jason G

Michigan Autobots

Kids and adults alike will get a kick out of Michigan Autobots! They’ll bring the energy, the dance moves, and quite possibly lasers 😉 It’s a can’t-miss!

Adeem The Artist

You’ll definitely want to catch Adeem the Artist’s Americana/Country show. They’re a seventh-generation Carolinian & a non-binary, blue-collar Artist travelling a long way to bring us a great show!

Drag Queen Bingo

Hosted by Veronica Scott – come through for fun, prizes, and loads of laughter!
Totally free, all are welcome! Located under the entertainment tent in the merchant area

Money Soup

Money Soup is a modern jazz funk group based in West Michigan and they’ve *just* released their debut album! They’ve been bringing the good vibes since 2023 – you’ll be glad you caught them live!
