Up North Pride, the annual celebration of Traverse City’s LGBTQ+ community, is underway. Events have been happening all week.

Up North Pride lasts until Sunday. Events still to come include:

  • Comedy Night at 8 p.m. on Friday night.
  • The annual Visibility Rally and March at 4 p.m. on Saturday, followed by a drag show and a silent disco party at The Open Space.
