Michigan City Pride

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 A message from our friend Monica at North Star Properties LLC

🌈 Everyone Is Welcome Here.

Not because it’s a slogan.
Not because it’s trending.
But because it’s how we believe a community should be.

Michigan City is at its best when people feel safe being themselves, supporting one another, and celebrating what makes each of us unique.

This Pride Weekend, we’re grateful for the people, businesses, visitors, friends, families, and neighbors who make our community vibrant, welcoming, and inclusive.

From all of us at North Star Properties, Happy Pride Weekend. 🌈

Are you a Friend of Dorothy? I know I am. 😉
Stop into Fluid, and a portion of each drink will benefit Michigan City Pride Fest 2026 !

🌈✨ FRIEND OF DOROTHY IS BACK ✨🌈

At FLUID, Pride Month is a celebration of community, authenticity, and the beautiful spectrum of people who make this world brighter.

Our annual Friend of Dorothy has returned. 💖

Made from real hibiscus flowers steeped in-house, blended with our scratch-made strawberry emulsion, and finished with a little shimmer, it's vibrant, refreshing, and crafted with the same intention we bring to everything we make.

🌺 Hibiscus has been enjoyed around the world for centuries and is naturally rich in antioxidants. Its bright, tart flavor makes it one of our favorite summer rituals.

And if you've ever wondered, "Friend of Dorothy" is a historic phrase that became a quiet way for members of the LGBTQ+ community to find one another and connect in times when being open wasn't always safe. Today, it stands as a reminder of friendship, belonging, and the courage to be yourself.

At FLUID, we're proud to celebrate the people who make our community what it is.

🏳️‍🌈 Available now at FLUID.
🖤 Made from scratch.
☕ Made with intention.
✨ Made for everyone.
