On Saturday, August 8, 2026, downtown Mount Clemens will host the 6th annual Macomb County Pride Festival featuring a Street Fair on Main Street, performances on a main stage near the intersection of New Street and Main Street, family-friendly Young Human Zone, and additional youth-focused entertainment. Macomb County Pride celebrates and empowers the region’s LGBTQ+ community through this family- and pet-friendly Pride Festival, and by offering participatory opportunities to local groups and organizations to highlight their support and resources available to the LGBTQ+ community in Macomb County. Macomb County Pride is a nonprofit organization with a mission to create a supportive environment for the LGBTQ+ community and to be a resource in Macomb County.

With attendance estimated at about 5,000 people, our 2025 Pride Festival was well received by the community. With more than 80 vendors, nonstop performances, visits from elected officials, Drag Queen Story Time hosted by the Mount Clemens Public Library, and a Children’s Activity Area, we are proud of the growth the festival has experienced and looking forward to an even bigger and more celebratory event this year!

In Support of Free Mom Hugs

Free Mom Hugs is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that works to empower the world to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community through visibility, education and conversation. Born of one Oklahoma mom’s simple act of wearing a homemade Free Mom Hugs button to a Pride festival, today Free Mom Hugs has more than 50,000 volunteers, chapters in all 50 states, and affiliate chapters around the world.


Free Mom Hugs volunteers give hugs and go beyond the hug, too. Our volunteers give hugs at events and other gatherings and further support and affirm LGBTQIA+ individuals through public education and outreach. Free Mom Hugs actively partners with brands, companies and organizations to support our chapters and initiatives including chapter programs, events and education.


All donations are made to Free Mom Hugs, a national nonprofit organization, and may be used to support local, regional, or national programming.
