Phoenix Pride's 2019 Rainbows Festival
The 18th Annual Rainbows Festival, Arizona's second-largest annual LGBTQ event, will be held on Saturday and Sunday, November 2-3, 2019 at the Heritage Square Historic District in downtown Phoenix. The Festival will be open on both days from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. It is produced by Phoenix Pride. The two-day outdoor event is FREE, OPEN TO THE PUBLIC and FAMILY FRIENDLY, and will include hundreds of booths from local businesses, activities, food, two stages of live entertainment and more.
Comprising more than three and a half acres (approximately 155,000 square feet) of fun for the whole family, the Rainbows Festival is expected to draw more than 25,000 guests over its two-day run. Headliners on the Festival's Bud Light� Main Stage will include "America's Got Talent" finalist Prince Poppycock on Saturday, November 2, and RuPaul's "Drag Race All Stars" alum Roxxxy Andrews, on Sunday, November 3.
"Last year was a record-breaking year for the Rainbows Festival, and after the incredible turnout at the Pride Festival this past April, we're expecting this year's Rainbows to shatter attendance records once again," Phoenix Pride Executive Director Mike Fornelli said. "We've lined up an incredible array of talent for both our Bud Light Main Stage and our Nissan Community Stage, and as always, this year's Rainbows Festival will feature great food, engaging activities and family-friendly fun for the entire community."
"There's a wave of excitement building for this year's Rainbows Festival, and we're looking forward to spending a wonderful weekend with our friends, neighbors and allies, as we return to historic downtown Phoenix," President of the Phoenix Pride Board of Directors Mark Leeper added. "Our Greater Phoenix community continues to grow, and with it, we've seen continued growth in support and attendance at all of our annual Pride-hosted events. Rainbows Festival is always one of the highlights of the year, and this year will be no exception."
