Grand Rapids Pride Festival 2025

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/

Keep up to date for more information and performer announcements on our social media channels and website!
