ATTN: Vendor Spots Are Now Filled! However...

If you'd like to be added to our back-up list in case someone has to cancel, we can take your information. You won't be asked for a donation until we know you will have a spot. We'll never ask for funds if we don't have place for you. While other organizers in the area might, we will not. Send an email direct to us at EmbraceMonroe@gmail.com with the subject 'Back up vendor 2026' if you'd like to be added as a back-up and we'll reach out to you with the contact information you provide.

ATTN: Still Seeking Performers!

If you've got a cool act, we'd love to have you, space permitting. Send an email direct to us at EmbraceMonroe@gmail.com with the subject 'Pridefest Performers 2026' with your contact info and we'll reach out to you.

NOTE: Make sure to use Google Chrome at checkout or make sure JavaScript is enabled in your browser (Safari, Edge, or Firefox). Otherwise checkout might not work properly. It's not a Givebutter issue. It's a browser issue.

Come join Embrace and Green Witch Gardens in a celebration of Pride and Queer Art. This free to attend event will have many handmade market vendors, fine art on display, performers, music, and food trucks.

Green Witch Gardens, 8930 S. Custard, Monroe, MI will be hosting an event with 30+ vendors where they'll have their creative works for purchase along with food trucks where you can purchase yummy goodies. There will also be musicians and performers to entertain visitors. It's six hours of fun, community and art! Join us for an amazing event and help us build the LGBTQIA+ community of Monroe County MI.

**Just so there are no surprises, our fundraising software Givebutter asks for a donation at checkout but you can turn it off. You'll see the following info in your cart at checkout: 'An optional tip allows EMBRACE MONROE to use Givebutter's 100% free fundraising platform and keeps it running for all nonprofits. Thank you! ' To avoid this, change the percentage amount to 'other' and then put in '0' as the amount to avoid this charge. If you can make a donation of some kind to Givebutter that's great since it's been a dependable program, but if not, that's okay too.

*10x10 booth space for $25
* Limit 2 booths per exhibitor
*Setup starts at 10 AM
* Bring your own tent (optional), tables and chairs
* In the event of poor weather, the market will not be rescheduled
*Artists and Crafters of any medium may join
*Booth rental is considered a donation so it is non-refundable
* If you provide your info, Embrace Monroe will promote your shop on our Facebook and Instagram accounts unless you direct us otherwise.

If you are an Artist or a Maker who would like to be part of Embrace Monroe's ART Fest open-air art market please buy a ticket for your 10x10 booth space. Once you've made your donation we'll send you further details about what do expect that day and the promotion we'd like to do for you prior to the event. This is a preliminary map and subject to change, but this gives you an idea of staging/setup.

Since 'space rental' is a donation and a good deed you're doing, it won't be refunded should the event be canceled this year. After you check out you'll receive an email (check your junk mail) that will act as you ticket for the booth which you can show us (email or printed version) on the 7th at 'check in'.

This fundraiser is created for two goals. One is to help fund this event and buy supplies for other pride events in the area. The other is to have funds to continue using this software to fund raise, send email or text, and create ticketed event. If you can make a donation to the cause that's great! If you can't, that's fine too! We just want to continue being a source of support in Monroe and your donations make that happen.

Now, if you'd like to take part as an artist we'll have a form soon for potential exhibitors and more information here or at our Facebook Event located by CLICKING HERE.

We're looking forward to a day of celebrating LGBTQ+ Pride while making a fun time for the Monroe community at large!

About Embrace Monroe: Monroe needed a place for LGBTQ+ and allies to feel more than just tolerated. They want to feel Embraced by the community in Monroe...Embrace Monroe was born for that purpose. Since then we've been growing to include various groups and meet ups on a monthly basis and also the start of annual events. It's an exciting time and we're happy you're on this journey with us.
