It is the 2nd largest festival in Indiana and one of the Midwest&#8217;s fastest growing Prides. This year we expect a turnout of 5,000 people. Each year we strive to add more events to Pride and this year is no different. With the addition of Headwater&#8217;s Park West, we are adding a volleyball tournament and an afternoon dance party presented by PLUSH. This year&#8217;s theme of Purpose*Presence*Pride signifies our commitment to bringing change to the area through education and exposure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Friday, the festival is open from 7 pm to midnight with $3 admission. \u00c2\u00a0Saturday, the hours are from noon to midnight with $5 admission.<\/p>\n<p>Again, as with all festivals, City Ordinances do not allow pets to be at the festivals. \u00c2\u00a0<span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.aroundfortwayne.com\/main\/external-weblinks\/62-festivals\/121-fw-pride\">Visit the official Fort Wayne Pride website<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fort Wayne&#8217;s GLBT Community will be celebrating with a two day event at Headwaters Park this weekend.
