This year’s Holland PRIDE Celebration in the park has been cancelled due to COVID-19, BUT that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate! Local supportive businesses are offering PRIDE Specials throughout the month to show their support for the LGBTQ+ community. We’ll also be hosting and participating in several virtual events throughout the month. Check back to this page for up-to-date information, as new details are being added as they are finalized.

Holland PRIDE 2019
On behalf of Out On The Lakeshore, we would like to thank all of our sponsors, vendors, advertisers, and attendees participating in the Holland PRIDE 2019.
Holland PRIDE is the annual fundraiser that supports the Out On The Lakeshore Community Center, and with your support you are ensuring the center continues to provide a safe, open, and accepting space for the LGBTQ community. You also played a part in bringing together the Greater Holland Area to celebrate diversity and inclusiveness, connect people and businesses, attract individuals and families to the lake shore, and ultimately enliven the entire town.
It is so important Holland PRIDE takes place each year so diversity can thrive, people have a voice, and the world can see Holland, Michigan’s stance on individuality and openness, as that is what attracts more people to come and visit for a little bit or stay for a lifetime.
We are so happy Holland PRIDE 2019 was an amazing time as we celebrated how far the LGBTQ community has come! Out On The Lakeshore is extremely motivated to continue the effort forward into the next year and beyond.
Sincerely,
Derek Hoehn and Sydney Sturm
