The Best Main Street Committee Event was presented to Main Street Kent. Kent Rainbow Weekend was developed to celebrate diversity within the Kent community.
Not only did this event showcase Kent as a safe space for everyone – no matter their identity – while raising money Bridging Planning with Results for various LGBTQ charities and the Kent State University LGBTQ+ Center Emergency Fund. There was live comedy, a bar crawl, art exhibits, a Rocky Horror Picture Show, female identifying storytelling, a community art project, drag shows, live music, a poetry open mic and even workshops to learn more about the LGBTQ+ community.
