The weekend-long Gainesville Pride Days 2018 celebrated LGBTQ equality and love for all with the annual parade and festival on Saturday, Oct. 20. The parade began at noon on 7th Street and West University Ave and ended at Bo Diddley Plaza downtown where supporters were welcomed with bright, traditional rainbow colors. Following the hour-long parade, the festival welcomed participants and visitors until 9 p.m. with food stations, small business displays and other events. The annual Pride Festival and Parade was co-sponsored by The City of Gainesville Department of Cultural Affairs. (Photos by Erin Cho/ WUFT News)
