Pride Month in Kansas City is basically a marathon with better outfits. Between drag brunches, dance parties, queer markets, rooftop hangs, community events, and enough Chappell Roan, Beyoncé, and Lady Gaga to shake the streetcar tracks, there's a lot to keep up with. Luckily, we did the gay homework for you.

And before KC Pride officially kicks off on Friday, we're starting the weekend early with QueerAokee (Q&A) on Thursday, a queer karaoke pre-Pride party where the community grabs the mic, sings their hearts out, and sets the tone for the weekend ahead.

Whether you're spending Pride weekend dancing until last call, discovering your new favorite queer-owned business, crying at a community event, or doing all three before Sunday, our KC Pride Guide has you covered.
