PHOENIX — It’s that time of year again… the Rainbows Festival returns this March to Phoenix!
“[It’s] free, family-friendly, open to the public and it's pet friendly as well,” said Jeremy Helfgot, on behalf of Phoenix Pride, to ABC15. “It's a free event, it's open to the public and while it is an event for the LGBTQ plus and allied community, it's an event that's open to everybody. Anyone who wants to come and have fun and be positive is going to be welcomed to join us.”
The fun takes place at Heritage Square Park in downtown Phoenix.
“This is an event that's been running for more than two decades annually in the Valley. It's our annual Street Fair. We're expecting a crowd of more than 30,000 throughout the weekend,” said Helfgot.
ENTERTAINMENT
There will be two stages at the festival for live performances throughout the weekend, according to Helfgot.
“We're bringing in British renowned vocalist and actress Luciana, and on Sunday, we are very excited to welcome the legendary founder of Wigstock, Lady Bunny, to our main stage at 5 p.m. So, it is going to be a wonderful weekend for people looking to have a good time,” said Helfgot.
