It is time to UNITE, NOT DIVIDE! The inaugural Dragging Douglas Pride and Arts Festival was created to expand LGBTQ+ programming for the greater Wichita area. This one-day festival seeks to expose and celebrate our LGBTQ+ community through arts centered programming in the heart of our City.

We will kick off with family themed programming during the day (10AM-5PM), which will include an Arts Market, Drag Queen Story Hour, and student centered arts activities with the goal of exposing, educating and celebrating LGBTQ+ culture through the arts.

Evening/night programming (6-11PM) will be a Pride Celebration which will include a drag show, fashion show, and outdoor pride party, along with other surprise activities!

Mark your calendars, and get ready, as we unveil details of this great event in the upcoming weeks, including featured performers, artists, and other programming!

2025 has come so quickly it's hard to believe we are celebrating our 4th season of ICT Big Gay Market!

Wether your looking for a day out and a meal, some shopping or chilling to local music this can be a fun time for everyone! Local creators from all around Wichita have come together to show support to our local LGBTQ community and just have fun!

A safe gathering place for all families and walks of life. We do not take any corporate sponsorship so you will not see adverts posted around our market. This market is supported and made by our local community.

This is a non-alcoholic market and is family friendly for all ages. There will be a Fairy Find for the young ones, and plenty to enjoy for older kids of any age! Market buttons will be available for folks that would like to find more discounts, you do not need a button to attend.

This event is free to attend and open to everyone who is ready to share a fun day in some wonderful weather. The Wildlife Exhibit will have some amazing happenings to enjoy, last year was a blast! We are so happy folks are enjoying the Big Gay Market vibe!! Thank you all for helping make this event amazing!
