Pride '08
July 25-26 Headwater’s Park East
For over a decade, Fort Wayne Pride has been bringing the spirit of diversity to downtown Fort Wayne, IN. Our focus is to put on events, including the Pride Festival in July, to bring together the GLBT community and their straight allies. We aim to increase understanding, awareness and education throughout Northeast Indiana. Over the years we have grown into a community known festival and we are one of the Midwest’s fastest growing Prides!
Fort Wayne Pride is always looking for sponsors, vendors and volunteers to help make our event successful!
