On the heels of the City of Sturgeon Bay declaring June Open Door Pride Month, two events highlighting inclusion for all are taking place this week.
In Sister Bay, the first-ever Northern Door Pride event will take place on Tuesday from 6-10 p.m. The organization teamed up with the Sister Bay Advancement Association to put on the evening of music and food. Northern Door Pride Head of Philanthropy Justina Zukauskaite says the event aims to promote what pride means to so many.
Proceeds from the event will go to support Courage MKE, a Milwaukee-based movement to provide resources for displaced LGBTQ youth in Milwaukee, and Open Door Pride, a Sturgeon Bay-based organization promoting inclusion for all.
Open Door Pride will host its own festival on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. While much of the festival is virtual, there will still be some activities at Martin Park in Sturgeon Bay as well as presentations by Sturgeon Bay Common Council member Spencer Gustafson and State Assembly Representative Joel Kitchens.
