Green Bay, Wisconsin, isn't the first place you'd think of for an LGBTQ+ trip. But it's surprisingly warm and welcoming.

We'll make sure your stay is comfortable and real. Forget what you think you know; Green Bay will greet you with a genuine Midwestern smile.

Where the Scene Is: Green Bay's Welcoming Neighborhoods

Green Bay doesn't have a "gayborhood" like bigger cities. Its LGBTQ+-friendly spots are more spread out.

It's walkable and mixes old and new well. A good base for exploring.

Beyond downtown, places like Ashwaubenon (where Lambeau Field is) also have good LGBTQ+-friendly lodging. These places are comfortable and close to major attractions. There's no single "gay street," but Green Bay generally feels inclusive. You'll find a welcoming vibe in many places, especially the ones we've picked out.
