Northwoods Pride Festival
co-hosted by Nicolet College Rainbow Hodags and ArtStart
LOCATION UPDATE: 2025 NORTHWOODS PRIDE HAS MOVED TO ARTSTART (68 S Stevens St, Rhinelander)
🌈 Location Update🏳️🌈
The 2025 Northwoods Pride Festival will now take place at ArtStart (68 S Stevens St, Rhinelander). This change allows us to offer the full spectrum of Pride programming in a space that enhances both visibility and accessibility—values that deeply align with our mission to celebrate, uplift, and support the LGBTQ+ community in the Northwoods.
This decision was made through a thoughtful vote by the Pride Committee to ensure a welcoming and impactful experience for everyone involved. The Nicolet College wasn't able to accommodate all the event activities, so the College respects the committee's decision to move the location to a place that can accommodate the full experience.
We understand that recent location changes may have caused inconvenience for our local business sponsors, community partners, and allies, and we sincerely apologize for any disruption. Your continued support and flexibility mean the world to us.
With your enthusiasm and presence, we are confident that this year’s Northwoods Pride Festival will be a powerful and joyful celebration of resilience, connection, and community.
