We are inviting you to Break Free! We are returning for our 37th takeover of Calder Plaza on Saturday & Sunday, June 21st and 22nd, 2025. The Grand Rapids Pride Festival is the Grand Rapids Pride Center’s largest fundraiser, in which you will find 150+ vendors, a beer garden (including non-alcoholic beverages), activities for all ages, food trucks, a sensory space, and local to nationally recognized performers on our entertainment stage.
Our theme, “Break Free,” is a call to action to remind us that we do not need permission to exist, thrive, and love authentically. It is a declaration that we will not be silenced in the face of disenfranchisement and erasure. We aim to curate a space where both joy and resistance brew in the streets of downtown Grand Rapids.
Sponsor, vendor, and volunteer applications are now available at https://grpride.org/pride-festival/
***GRTF is an official sponsor of Grand Rapids Pride Festival 2025. We will be tabling at this event both days.

Eligibility: We realize that there are many groups & events in this city that are Trans-friendly while not being explicitly Trans-centered. To keep this calendar a bit more focused, we will only post events that are Trans-centered or LGBTQIA-centered. Events should take place in West Michigan.
