Hi there!
A letter from our co-chairs

Dear Community Member,
We invite you to join us in a celebration of community, diversity, authenticity. This year kicks off the first ever Grand Haven Pride Festival! We are so excited to bring this visibility and accessibility to the local queer community during a time in which it has never been needed more. It seems we are in a constant battle to prove our right to exist, love and be equals. It is time for us to celebrate the progress that has been made in our small hometown and we would love your help!
Grand Haven Pride Festival is looking to partner with people and businesses that want to show their support for the LGBTQIA+ community and be a part of this inaugural celebration! With the help of your sponsorship commitment, we are hoping to provide for all:
Spectacular Drag Performances
Open Mic for poetry and musicians
Dance Party hosted by a DJ
Children's activities including story hours, crafts, and more
Some of the best Food Trucks around
Vendor Market/Booths
Are you ready to help us make this fantastic event happen? We will not be able to do this without your support. Let’s make it clear to our local queer community to see how many local businesses, individuals, and organizations support them and want to be clear that Grand Haven can be home for all people. Please feel free to contact us at [email protected] with any questions or if additional information is needed.
Thank you for your consideration and we hope to see you at the festival!
Sponsorship Levels
Choose the level that's right for you
Update: we are wonderfully overwhelmed by the amount of community support we’ve received for our first festival! Please note that as a result, the Vendor Market is entirely full and we cannot accodomate any additional vendor booths. This effects the Blue ($1,000) level and higher. All levels are still open for sponsorship, but no longer include a vendor booth. Thank you for your understanding!
There are two ways to submit your sponsorship commitment:
- Through this website. Simply click “Select ___” of your choosing and complete the checkout form. You’ll submit your payment via credit card plus 3% to cover transaction fees.
- You can email us at [email protected] and then send a check payable to “St. John’s Episcopal Church” with “Pride” in the memo line*.
You can mail your check or drop it off to:

*A note for transparency
As this is our first year, we are grateful to the people at St. John’s Episcopal Church for agreeing to be our fiduciary sponsor. That means they are taking care of all of the administrative and financial side of things, including ensuring your donations to the Grand Haven Pride Festival are fully tax-deductible. Every donation made to the festival will be kept separate from church funds and only used for the Pride Festival. Any leftover funds at the end will be held in reserve for next year, given to a new 501c3 that takes over the festival, or donated to a fully affirming advocacy organization. If you have questions about this, or anything else regarding the festival, please contact us.
