All proceeds from Kalamazoo Pride support OutFront Kalamazoo’s work providing vital programs, services, and resources to the LGBTQIA+ community all year long.

Equitable Pricing

While Pride is our largest fundraiser, it is also a celebration of our community - which means everyone is welcome, regardless of their ability to pay.

If the full ticket price is inaccessible to you, we have flexible options including:

  1. Pick Your Price
    Pre-purchase your tickets online and select the “Pick Your Price” option to select any price, as low as $1.

  2. Just show up!
    If free entry is the best fit for you, just come to the entry gates at the event and tell our volunteers. They will welcome you into the event, no questions asked!

Safety & Security

The safety and security of all Kalamazoo Pride attendees are of the utmost priority. To that end, the following, the following policies will be enforced:

  • Only clear bags will be permitted within the festival site. Exceptions will be made for small clutch purses, diaper bags, and medically necessary items. All bags are subject to search.

  • No pets will be permitted within the festival site. Service animals remain welcome.

  • No smoking or vaping will be permitted within the festival site for the duration of the event.

  • No guns or other weapons will be permitted within the festival site. No exceptions.

Empty water bottles and personal seating (i.e. lawn chairs) are permitted, but subject to search.

Did you know? OutFront Kalamazoo contracts a private security detail to ensure that Kalamazoo Pride remains a safe environment for all who attend.
