35th Annual Pridefest

From 35th Annual Pridefest Website:

In 2011, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch estimated an attendance of 85,000 attendees over PrideFest weekend, once again making the festival one of the most-attended Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) events in the Midwest region.

Then, in 2012, PrideFest broke records again, with attendance estimated at 100,000+ over two days; it was also the longest parade in our history. The Pride Parade is now recognized as the second largest parade in the City of St. Louis.

2013 marked a historic change for Pride St. Louis and the annual PrideFest celebration as the festival relocated to Downtown St. Louis at Soldiers Memorial. With record-setting attendance numbers for both the parade and festival the Board is very excited about the 35th anniversary of Pride in St. Louis.

2014 was the 32nd anniversary of Pride in Saint Louis and saw over 150,000 attendees along with an estimated 90,000 parade-goers. The Festival layout featured 160 exhibitors and sponsors with two entertainment stages, a childrens area, Athletes Village and much more. It also marked the second year in Downtown St. Louis at Soldiers' Memorial Park. In 2015 the Festival topped record numbers and reached over 200,000 spectators and attendees.
