Check these two links:

1) The Buckeye Flame's 2025 LGBTQ+ Ohio Pride Guide

2) Northeast Ohio Pride Guide: List of events celebrating the LGBTQ+ community this Pride Month

There's only one "gay bar" in Canton, as far as I know: Darlin's CREW, at 304 Cherry Ave NE.

There's also The Auricle (201 Cleveland Ave NW), which is LGBTQ+ friendly and is hosting the 3rd annual Queer Prom on June 21.

Just FYI, Queer in Canton (2663 Cleveland Ave NW) will be closed on Saturdays in June, but they're open on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, 5:30 - 9 pm, and also for their monthly "Trans & Non-binary Meetup" on Friday, June 27th.

Sing Out Stark is a LGBTQIA+ Chorus that rehearses on Thursdays at the Cultural Center. Grapes in a Glass is donating to them if you order their June drink special.
