This year, the 2014 St. Louis LGBT PrideFest is on Saturday, June 28 and Sunday, June 29 at Soliders’ Memorial downtown. The festival will be open from noon to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday and 1 to 7:30 p.m. on Sunday.

This year’s festival theme is Diversity, History, Unity and emphasizes 35 years of Pride in St. Louis, 45 years since Stonewall and the 250th Birthday of the City of St. Louis. PrideFest 2014 is an Official Celebration Partner of stl250.

For 2014, the Pride Parade will come down Market Street, starting at 8th Street and ending at 18th Street. This means the parade will pass by the entire festival grounds for the first time.
The parade is starting one hour earlier this year, at 11 a.m. Be sure to get a great spot to enjoy the fun!

If you are involved in the parade, the staging area is located east of 8th Street along market. Check your email for detailed instructions or contact parade@pridestl.org for more information.

This year’s festival layout is designed by zones, with activities for all ages, including children, athletes, entertainment, a Red Bull MXT Dance Truck with LIVE DJ’s, an Under 25/Teen Area and two food courts. But what if you do not feel like walking from one end to the other?

Coffee Cartel is providing a shuttle that will circle the perimeter of the festival, to help you get from one end of the grounds to the other, or hop off at any stop in between. The cost is $1 per ride.

Two food court areas are located near the entertainment stages at the east and west ends of the festival grounds. Please enjoy food and drinks from our vendors!
Vendors are selling a variety of beverages in the food court areas. The NAMES Project is selling lemonade as a fundraiser for the AIDS Memorial Quilt.
