Since 1989, Michigan Pride has operated on the kindness of volunteers and the belief that America is a melting pot. Next year, Michigan Pride will be moving its headquarters from downtown Lansing to Old Town, and in an effort to make that a seamless transition, a series of pre and post-parties are being held at a variety of Old Town businesses. Make sure to mark your calendars for these celebrations, and let’s show Michigan what a welcoming, diverse, and artistic community Old Town truly is! Below is a calendar of the weekend events being held in Old Town:
Michigan PRIDE White Party
Everyone that attends is asked to wear white attire. (No, you won’t be turned you away if you’re not dressed up.) This is Michigan Pride’s new annual event celebrating unity and purity within our community. Spiral Dance Bar, Chrome Cat, Esquire Bar, Grand Café will all host music and live events. This event is for everyone 18+ (21+ Required for some venues; 21+ can get a wristband for $10 that allows you to travel between all four venues)! Buy your white apparel at Grace’s Champagne Celebration on June 5.
