NatureMed is Celebrating KC Pride 2026 With You!
Pride is one of the most electric weekends Kansas City has to offer, and this year, NatureMed is showing up right alongside the community we love. KC PrideFest 2026 is taking over Theis Park June 5 through 7, and we could not be more excited to be part of the celebration. Whether you are a longtime member of the LGBTQ+ community or an enthusiastic ally, this weekend is for everyone, and we want to make sure you have the best time possible.
What is KC PrideFest
KC PrideFest is one of the largest LGBTQ+ events in the Midwest, drawing thousands of people together each year to celebrate identity, community, and joy. This year marks the 51st year of Pride in Kansas City, and the 2026 theme is “It’s All Ours.” From live music across multiple stages to local vendors, food trucks, family-friendly activities, and the iconic Pride Parade, the weekend is packed from start to finish. It is a celebration of everything the Kansas City LGBTQ+ community has built, protected, and claimed as its own.

We will be out and proud this weekend, and we want to connect with as many of you as possible. Stop by and say hi, grab some goodies, and let us know how we can take care of you.

Look for our team and keep an eye on our social media for updates on exactly where to find us throughout the weekend.
Cannabis and Pride: A History Worth Honoring
The connection between cannabis culture and LGBTQ+ history runs deep. During the early days of the AIDS crisis, cannabis was one of the few tools patients had to manage pain, nausea, and appetite loss, and LGBTQ+ activists were among the loudest voices fighting for medical cannabis access. The fight for both cannabis legalization and LGBTQ+ rights has always shared a common thread: bodily autonomy, dignity, and the freedom to live authentically. As a cannabis dispensary, we are proud to be part of a legacy that honors that history.
How to Enjoy Pride Weekend Responsibly
A three-day festival in the June heat calls for some planning. Stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and know your limits. If cannabis is part of your Pride weekend plans, consume before you head into the festival grounds since outside products are not permitted on site. Edibles are a fan favorite for events like this because they are discreet, portable, and long-lasting. Our budtenders are happy to help you find the right product and dose so you feel great all day without overdoing it. As always, never drive after consuming cannabis.
Pride-Worthy Products to Try This Weekend
Looking for something to elevate your weekend? Here are a few categories worth exploring before you head out. Edibles are ideal for a long day on your feet. A low-dose gummy or chocolate can keep the good vibes going for hours. If relaxing at home after a big day of celebrating sounds like your vibe, a quality indica or hybrid flower or a pre-roll is a great way to decompress. Live resin or rosin carts are another favorite for those who want something flavorful and potent without the prep work. Ask your budtender what is moving this week.
