We’d love your support in promoting Rainbow Weekend — a celebration of LGBTQ+ pride, community, and resilience here in Kent.
We're working extra hard to promote this year’s events because Kent State University is no longer permitted to promote LGBTQ+ content, which is deeply frustrating and disheartening. That’s why your voice and visibility matter more than ever.
Kent Pride and Main Street Kent are still here — supporting LGBTQ+ students, uplifting local q***r businesses, and creating safe, affirming spaces. We’re also building a new grant/funding source for LGBTQ+ students to help replace resources that have recently been lost.
Our main events are:
🌈 Pride Bar Crawl – A night of visibility and celebration across local bars
🛍️ Q***r & Here Market – A daytime outdoor market highlighting LGBTQ+ vendors
