WE KNOW WHO WE ARE

Pride Month We Know Who We Are Campaign: banners throughout Sturgeon sponsored by local businesses and individuals with window displays, hosted by Destination Sturgeon Bay.

Throughout the month of June, Open Door Pride’s We Know Who We Are campaign fills the streets of Sturgeon Bay with vibrant banners and window displays celebrating LGBTQIA+ identity, inclusion, and visibility. Sponsored by local businesses and community members, these visual displays are a bold affirmation of who we are—proudly and unapologetically.

This citywide campaign is hosted in partnership with Destination Sturgeon Bay and is supported by allies who believe in the power of representation and community.

This year’s featured artist is Keith Negley, whose powerful imagery anchors the campaign’s visual identity. Learn more about his work at keithnegley.com, and explore the full list of participants, sponsors, and featured displays by visiting the campaign page at opendoorpride.org/weknowwhoweare.

Let the streets speak—because visibility matters. We know who we are. And we’re proud.
