Welcome to Pride in Battle Creek
The 2024 Battle Creek Pride Festival
“We The People MEANS EVERYONE.”
The Battle Creek Pride Festival is a can’t-miss event for everyone – young, old, queer, straight, you name it. Join us at Leila Arboretum on Saturday, July 20th from noon until 8 p.m. for a day of free, family-friendly fun. You’ll see over 70 vendors, six food trucks, three live bands, two incredible drags shows, a beer garden, the Meijer Kids Zone featuring the Over The Rainbow Zootopia petting zoo, crafts, games, and prizes. And be sure to stick around from 8 p.m. until midnight for an awesome sunset After Glow Dance Party presented by Club Vortex.
Here’s the complete BC Pride Week schedule of events:
On Thursday, July 18th we’ll hold our funny and factual trivia game show, “LGBTQ&A”.
On Friday, July 19th we’ll march through downtown during our annual Pride Parade.
On Saturday, July 20th we’ll rock Leila Arboretum from noon until 8 p.m. with our free, family friendly Pride Festival, followed by a cool AfterGlow Dance Party from 8 to midnight.
And on Sunday, July 21st we’ll honor our past with a Candlelight Vigil at our Resource Center.
These four fantastic days could never happen without you, and we need your help.
WE NEED Festival volunteers and Float builders to help set up, tear down, and help out.
WE NEED folks to march in our parade and to be in the audience for LGBTQ&A.
WE NEED sponsors and donors.
WE NEED everybody to make this the best BC Pride Week ever!
