Thanks for making PrideFest 2010 such a success!
Denver PrideFest celebrated its 35th anniversary in style this year
Denver celebrated the 35th year anniversary of PrideFest in style on June 19 and 20, 2010, when an estimated 300,000 people from Colorado and the region enjoyed a parade, rally, music, entertainment, food and much more.
PRIDEFEST HEADLINER ON SUNDAY: Thousands and thousands of people flocked to the Main Stage Sunday at 3 p.m. to hear R&B group En Vogue (pictured above)-- the original funky divas! The girls didn't disappoint, performing such classics as Free Your Mind and Whatta Man.
Special to PrideFest on Saturday: B-52s frontman Fred Schneider got people moving when he helped with DJ duties at the Three Olives Dance Stage near the middle of the park from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday! Schneider provided the lead vocals on such iconic hits as "Love Shack" and "Rock Lobster."
Produced by the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center of Colorado (The Center), and recognized as one of the top 10 Pride events in the country, Denver PrideFest features a Dance Stage with DJs, a Country Stage with line-dancing lessons, a Latino Stage and Main Stage with live entertainment, and plenty of celebrating all day.
There are also vendor booths including food, art, children's activities, social causes and health awareness. The Center organizes the entire event and also provides a VIP area with food and drinks for sponsors and contributors to enjoy.
The mission of Denver PrideFest is to create a fun, safe and empowering space to celebrate and promote the heritage and culture of the LGBT community in Colorado.
