Historical note: This event took place at Vintage Drift SLC's former 900 South location. Vintage Drift SLC's current collections are available inside Oliver & Princess Natasha Vintage at 1531 South Major Street in Salt Lake City. Kissing Whiskey Vintage is Kristen Wolfe's creative platform for Utah vintage discovery, events, and community projects.

The first Out & Proud Market launched in June 2023 as part of Salt Lake City’s Pride Month celebrations — a colorful, community-driven market spotlighting LGBTQ+ artists, makers, and small businesses. Hosted by Kissing Whiskey Vintage and Vintage Drift SLC, the event featured over 30 queer-owned vendors, live music, local food trucks, and affirming spaces for connection and celebration.

The event drew local media attention for its joyful energy and inclusive mission, becoming a new Pride tradition for Salt Lake’s 900 South creative corridor. Coverage from Utah news outlets highlighted it as a “love letter to queer community and creativity.”
