Celebrate LGBTQ+ Lexingtonians at the 18th annual Pride Festival on Saturday, May 30 from 12 to 10 p.m. on Oliver Lewis Way (from South Broadway to High Street).

"One thing we're really proud of is how we've grown," said Jason Schubert, board president of the Lexington Pride Center. "We routinely draw 15,000 to 20,000 people, making us one of Lexington's biggest festivals. We're thankful to create a space for people to be loved, accepted, celebrated, and welcomed."
