2026 Newaygo County Pride Festival!

People wearing Newgaya County caps with rainbow designs.

This event is more than a celebration — it’s a statement of support and inclusion. Each year, we create a safe and welcoming space where everyone can show up as their authentic selves, surrounded by love and acceptance.

Every booth, performer, and volunteer helps make Pride a day to remember — a reflection of the love and strength that lives in Newaygo County.

Join us as we continue to grow, celebrate, and show that Pride lives here. 🌈
