Phoenix Pride’s Rainbows Festival attracted thousands of members and allies of the L.G.B.T. community to Heritage Square Park this weekend, living up to its status as the second largest pride event in Arizona.

The 2-day family and pet-friendly festival featured two stages where several acts performed, including Miss and Mister Phoenix Pride, Phoenix Phollies, Fairy Bones and the Arizona Drag Stars. The free festival also included a Halloween puppy parade.

Several booths lined the sidewalks, selling food, beer, pride buttons and stickers. Several activist groups, business and community organizations occupied other booths.
