Fort Wayne Pride's Interests
General
We love putting together events all year to bring the GLBTA community of Fort Wayne together in positive ways. We strive to create new ways to celebrate who we are as a diverse group of people. If you have any event suggestions let us know!!!
Music
We are always looking for talented musicians who want to donate their time to get exposure at our festival! Contact us if you are interested.

Fort Wayne Pride holds year round events to educate and unite the GLBT and straight communities around the area. The festival includes: a vendor market, representatives from various organizations, food vendors, a beer garden, children's area, workshops, and live entertainment both days. Pride '08 entertainment will include: Good Night Gracie, What She Said, Girl Parts, Angie Evans, Rich Lysaght, Lindsay Bloom, LVNMUZIQ, Dooley Noted, Nervous But Excited, Pride Idol Finals and FW's Finest Illusionists.
Last year over 3,000 people turned out for Pride '07 and we are so excited about having an even larger attendance (predicting 4,000). I know that doesn't compare to many other cities, but thinking that only 10 years ago there were only about a hundred people, we aren't doing so bad. Both days will be jam packed with things to do, including meeting new people! See you there!
