Pride Month Begins This Weekend
May 27, 2023
Although Up North Pride of Traverse City now puts on their main Pride celebration in late September—shifting out of the busy summer festival season in northern Michigan—there are still plenty of rainbow-friendly June events on the calendar this month. It all begins with the Pride Carnival on June 3 at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City. The free, family-friendly event is held from 11am to 2pm with activities from NoMi nonprofits, tasty local food and beverages, and plenty of carnival-style attractions to explore. If your family has a little extra time that morning, be sure to check out Rainbow Story Time at the Dennos Museum Center starting at 10am, where Wild & Wonder, Brilliant Books, and Miriam Pico team up for 90 minutes of music, stories, and art. Those events are just the beginning; find all of Up North Pride’s June programming by visiting upnorthpride.com/events.
