Pets are allowed, but we do not recommend it. The event is extremely busy, loud and often very hot, which is not an ideal environment for most pets.
If you do wish to bring a pet to Pride, you are responsible for following all laws regarding animals. All dogs must be kept on a leash at all times. Ferndale Pride is not responsible for the safety of your pet.
Michigan weather varies. Sunscreen and hydration are advised.
In the event of a severe weather emergency, the event will shut down for safety, as directed by local authorities.
