Candlelight Vigil 2025

Please come join us at the final event of our 4-day festival weekend; our Candlelight Vigil, Sunday July 20th at 8pm.

Location: Battle Creek Pride Resource Center, 104 Calhoun St, Battle Creek, MI 49017

This year’s theme will be unity as we come together to show solidarity and support for the LGBTQIA+ community with our fellow Pride groups from the surrounding area. In a candlelight ceremony we remember those we have lost and honor the memory of those in the LGBTQIA+ community who have died, especially those who were victims of violence or discrimination. Our speakers will raise awareness of issues facing the LGBTQIA+ community, such as discrimination, violence, and the need for equality and acceptance.

““No pride for some of us without liberation for all of us.”

— Marsha P. Johnson
