Springfield PrideFest 2013 is THIS WEEK!! Committees have worked hard to make this year’s event even better than the last. Springfield PrideFest started in 2011 – 1 city block, 6 hours, and approximately 3,000 people attended. In 2012 we expanded to 2.5 city blocks, 9 hours, and approximagely 6,500 people attended. This year, same space, same time, but 2 stages, more vendors, and hopefully even more people and more fun.

 

Why attend? GREAT entertainment, GREAT food, GREAT pride “stuff”, GREAT vendors and services, and lots of GREAT FRIENDS & “FAMILY”!
