The Fifth Annual Twin Cities PrideFest
June 27th | 12pm - 8pm | Shadowland Pavilion, St. Joseph MI
Pull OUT your board shorts and flip flops! OutCenter Southwest Michigan is excited for PrideFest’s return to the Shadowland Pavilion, right on the sands of Silver Beach!
This year’s Twin Cities PrideFest will be bigger and better than ever, with extended event hours so that you can soak up the sun and celebrate Pride. As always, PrideFest will feature live entertainment and music, local artists and vendors, and plenty of space to gather, cheer, and connect.
PrideFest is a community celebration of LGBTQ+ pride right here in Southwest Michigan, and this year we’re giving folks even more time to enjoy the beach, celebrate pride, and showing up for one another. Grab your friends and get ready for a PrideFest that’s as colorful as the summer sunset!

PrideFest Community Booths
Over the past four years we have been dedicated to ensuring that PrideFest is as accessible as possible to local artists, artisans, community resource organizations, and small businesses. This is especially the case for those in the LGBTQ+ community, as well as those from other communities. To accomplish this we offer up to half of our booth spaces at a reduced price, $25, as part of our Community Booths initiative.
