Southern Idaho Pride continues Pride celebrations with a Pride Festival
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) —Yesterday Southern Idaho Pride hosted Pride Fest, to keep the celebrations going for Pride Month.
The LGBTQ+ and other members of the community went to City Park and celebrated Pride Month at the Pride Festival.
Flags of all sexualities and genders were hung up, and people expressed themselves freely, wearing their flags.
The festival included many vendors that sponsored the pride events that were going on during the week.
Southern Idaho Pride gave plaques to these sponsors thanking them for their help.
Brandon Connelly, Director of Southern Idaho pride talks about why its important to have these festivals, “The daily interactions we have of these micro-aggressions and persecution we face everyday, it’s really important for us to have pride festivals and honestly pride organizations to provide these kind of events so that we can come together, heal together, support each other and remind each other that there is more of us than we think.”
The event also provided entertainment and food trucks.
