Annnd it’s THE FINAL COUNTDOWN…

Within the next 24 hours we will all get to enjoy a sense of community, entertainment, education, diversity and inclusion.

Catch y’all at NOON when the doors open up to the public!

Even tho we’re indoors, everyone should send up that good juju for the rain to stay away. While all the events are pretty much inside.. a monsoon could rain on our lil intended block parade!

Either way… Happy Pride Month to all and to all a good restful pre-fest night. ❤️

Who all is familiar with the Renaissance Faire tradition of Trinket Trading?!

We will have a trinket table at PrideFest, with free trinkets to take, trade, and admire!

Please feel free to also bring your own trinkets to share, trade, and admire!

Trinket trade is for all ages, so please be sure to only bring family-friendly trinkets!

Some examples of trinkets that can be fun to trade:

-beads
-small jewelry or keychains
-marbles
-stickers
-small plastic figures (we will have tiny frogs, ducks, dinosaurs, and more!)
-candies (please only bring store bought, in the original packaging, to keep within safety guidelines, and please be aware of allergens if you choose to bring edible treats! And, again, please keep in mind this will be a FAMILY FRIENDLY trinket trade 😅)

If you don’t have your own trinkets to trade, never fear! That’s why the table will be here!

Come out and grab a few free trinkets, and make some happy memories! The trinket table will be located in the vendors area, alongside a selfie station, free coloring table with family-friendly coloring pages & fun & crafty activities!

We wanna give a special shoutout to Bradley Party for being a saving grace and helping us defer expenses of vendor tables this year. If you’re looking for affordable tables, chairs, popup canopy tents and more… check out their page and give them a call to see how much you can save when comparing it to the prices others will charge you. Thank you BPR for stepping up and helping keep Pride on track for Saturday!

We wanna say a big thanks to the Jefferson City News Tribune for their interview and coverage of Pride this Saturday! Grab a copy of the paper and/or read the story online!

A pride festival will make its debut in Jefferson City this weekend.
