Central Alabama Pride May 29, 2008

The celebration ("10 Days of Pride") takes place each year during the first week of June and features activities for the entire family. One of the main objectives of these activities is to demonstrate to the business community what the "LGBT dollar" can do for their businesess. In addition, it provides members of the LGBT community to stand up and "be counted" among their family, friends and acquaintances. The annual celebration includes such activites as a family bowling night, a family skate night, town halls with political leaders, educational seminars and culminates in the day-long festival callled PRIDEFest.

PRIDEFest, which is held at Historic Sloss Furnaces, invites vendors, businesses and organizations to come together and promote their goods and services to the LGBT community. In addition to the vendor booths, the PRIDEFest committee presents non-stop entertainment on the Sloss stage. Bringing together Birmingham's talented local enteratiners and including entertainers from the world stage, the day long festival continues to grow in attendance each year.
