Rainbows Festival Colors the Community
For the 11th consecutive year, Phoenix Pride put on the glitz, rolled out the red carpet, and threw one of the biggest parties of the year. The Rainbows Festival, an annual event showcasing the diversity of the LGBT community in Phoenix, took place during the weekend on Oct. 6 and 7. The two-day event has been presented, since 2002, by Phoenix Pride, a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1981 with the purpose of promoting and celebrating the significance of the LGBT community in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
