Visibility Rally and March
4 pm - 5 pm @ F&M Park

Join us for the largest participant-driven 2SLGBTQIA+ Pride March in Michigan beginning at F&M Park and proudly walking through downtown to The Open Space. The rally will start at 4 pm with keynote speakers and among this year's Grand Marshalls will be Michigan's first openly gay Senator, Jeremy Moss. Marching will follow the kickoff speeches. 

Drag Night
After the Visibility March @ The Open Space

Join us at the Open Space, immediately following the Visibility March, for a drag-tastic event! Come and throw some dollar bills at national, regional, and local death-dropping drag artists. Drag Night will be hosted by local drag king and fan favorite, Ben Eaton–sure to astound. Refreshments and food will be available for purchase on-site. Come dressed in Pride gear, drag, or any gender expression you’re vibing with that night. It’s going to be a Pride party like this city has never seen before. Parental guidance is advised.
