Pride in the Straits

Time to don your favorite rainbow T-shirt! Straits Pride, which represents Mackinac Island, Saint Ignace, Mackinaw City, Cheboygan, Les Cheneaux, and the surrounding areas, is gearing up for their second annual Pride Festival Sept. 14-17. Highlights include a community bike ride, drag bingo and drag brunch, a vendor market, and a pride party with a live DJ and food and beverages for purchase. (And, if you don’t have a pride shirt waiting in your drawer, you can make one during a tie-dye event on Thursday.) The weekend concludes with a Pride Cruise around Mackinac Island with Sip N’ Sail Cruises from 10:30am to 12pm. Half of the weekend’s events are free, while others range from $10 to $55. Purchase event tickets individually or get a weekend pass for $100 (13 percent off!). Most events take place at the Mackinac Island Community Hall at 7358 Market Street.
