Ypsi Pride

Ypsi Pride, a celebration of the local LGBTQ community, takes place on Saturday, July 18 in Depot Town. For this year's celebration, organizers are expanding with a new date, a longer schedule and additional programming that they say reflects years of community feedback. Lee Van Roth provides more details on the festivities in a conversation with Ypsi Pride's logistics chair, Britt Barron.

The organizers of Ypsi Pride have been navigating national concerns and local challenges to make Ypsilanti’s yearly pride event come together. WEMU’s Ana Longoria has more.
