2023 Pride Festivities – July 20th – 23rd

These four fantastic days could never happen without you, and we need your help.  We’re looking for Festival volunteers to help set up, tear down, and just be around to do whatever needs doing.  We also need vendors, and sponsors, and donors.  We need folks to march in our parade and to be in the audience for LGBTQ&A, too. 

We need everybody to make this the best BC Pride Week since… last year!  If you want to be involved, we’d love to have your help.

I want to be a sponsor!
I want to be in the Pride Guide!

“What does the “P” stand for in Marsha P. Johnson’s name?” Wanna find out? Then join us and 16 brave contestants in the Miller-Stone Building on Thursday, July 20th for an evening of straight answers to not-so-straight questions during Battle Creek’s favorite gay trivia game show, LGBT Q&A sponsored by New Story Books.

I want to be a vendor!
