Walk with Allies

Hosted by Northland PRIDE Network

Date: Saturday, October 17, 2026 1-3PM

Location: Platte Purchase Park, 10400 N Platte Purchase Drive KCMO

Join us for the walk!

  • Bring your family and friends—everyone is welcome!

  • Wear your most colorful Pride or inclusive attire to show your support.

  • Have family-friendly flags or signs? Bring them along & carry them proudly during the walk.

Walk with Allies is more than an event — it’s a heartfelt gathering of LGBTQ+ individuals and allies in a visible stand of solidarity to raise awareness, demand equity and inclusion, and celebrate authenticity. In a world where transgender people face relentless attacks and growing marginalization in today’s political climate, we walk to show they are not alone.

Each step is a promise: to uplift one another, to unite against discrimination, and to build a Northland where everyone feels safe, seen, and valued.

Our members have hand painted fun rocks with messages of hope and kindness for you to place along the path or take home with you to spread kindness.
Join us after the walk for music, refreshments, and friends.
