This year, the community came together in a powerful way to celebrate, connect, and support one another at Ann Arbor Pride—and it was our largest Pride yet! Over 25,000 people joined us throughout the day, filling Main Street with joy, energy, and resilience.
More than 200 vendors lined the streets, representing spiritual groups, community organizations, small businesses, advocacy groups, and more. Their presence highlighted the incredible diversity and strength of our LGBTQ+ community and allies.

On the stages, the talent was unmatched. Our Main Stage was lit up by headliners Landon Cider, Detox, and Lucky Starzzz, while the Necto Stage saw drag kings and local performers slay the crowd with unforgettable acts. We also welcomed improv performers from hear.say, alongside musicians, artists, and creators who shared their gifts with us all day long.
Families were celebrated too, with the KidZone offering a welcoming space for games, activities, and Drag Story Time that brought joy to our youngest attendees.

Ann Arbor Pride isn’t just about celebration—it’s also about sustaining community. Since 1995, Pride has been both a rallying point and a fundraiser for the Jim Toy Community Center, helping us continue our mission of advocacy, programming, and partnerships for LGBTQ+ people in Washtenaw County and beyond.
Throughout the day, we were honored to hear from elected officials at the local, county, state, and federal levels, underscoring the importance of visibility, advocacy, and solidarity in these challenging times.
This year’s Pride was proof of what we can achieve together: a day of love, resilience, and joy that strengthens our community for the work ahead. Thank you to every volunteer, vendor, performer, sponsor, and attendee who made Ann Arbor Pride 2025 unforgettable.
