LGBTQ+ Traverse City

Be Who You Are – And do it in Traverse City 

Feel free to explore. Feel free to escape. But more than anything, feel free to be yourself. We take great pride in our beaches, trails, fantastic restaurants, wineries, breweries, wide range of shopping, and the Sleeping Bear Dunes. But mostly we take great pride in welcoming everyone to Traverse City. We’ve been recognized as a great place for the LGBTQ+ community — it’s warm and welcoming. Come to relax, get away and have some fun. But mostly, come to be yourself. This is Traverse City – exactly where you should be.
