🏳️‍🌈 Pride with Purpose

More than a celebration, Ann Arbor Pride honors a legacy. Since 1995 (when it launched as OUTFest), Pride has been hosted by the Jim Toy Community Center, named after one of the most influential LGBTQ+ rights advocates in Michigan history. The center continues his work, offering vital resources, support, and advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community.
