There were times when you'd only find Pride festivals in the bigger cities. But now, there are also festivals in small towns all over West Michigan. This year, festivals are being held in Newaygo, Kalamazoo, Lowell, Muskegon, Saugatuck/Douglas, Grand Haven, Grand Rapids, Greenville, Holland, South Haven, Big Rapids, Battle Creek, and Middleville.

And my favorite part about Pride? No two places or festivals are exactly the same. If you're looking to celebrate Pride in 2026, you're sure to find a festival that's the perfect fit for you.
