OMG...just saw a commercial on TV for Pride Charlotte! As one of the founders of this festival this means so much to me...Back in 2006 when we were planning the first festival we talked (dreamed really) of several things: eventually becoming a street festival in downtown Charlotte like the other street festivals, expanding to a 2 day event, an official welcome from the Mayor and advertising the event on TV...Last year the festival was held in the streets and the Mayor welcomed the event...this year the festival will be in the same location (streets of downtown Charlotte) but will be a 2 day event - Saturday & Sunday August 25 & 26 and they are running commercials...i imagine the Mayor will once again welcome everyone...i am so proud of all the hard work put in over the years by everyone whose efforts and sacrifice brought our dreams to fruition...
