Grab your fans, don your brightest colors, and head to Fair Park for this year's Pride celebration.
The big picture: Some major corporations nationwide have pulled sponsorships of LGBTQ+ events as the Trump administration isn't recognizing Pride Month.
- But Dallas Pride still has major sponsors, including Fort Worth-based American Airlines, Austin-based Match and Seattle-based Amazon and Starbucks.
Driving the news: Dallas Pride's theme this year is "Pride is My Right" to recognize challenges to LGBTQ+ rights.
- The event includes a festival Saturday and a parade Sunday. The festival features musical performances, vendors and drag shows.
If you go: Dallas Pride festivities take place at Fair Park, 3809 Grand Ave.
- Parking is $10. The DART Green Line stops in front of the park.
Saturday: The festival runs 11am-8pm at the Automobile Building.
- Tickets are $10 for people 13 and older, free for kids under 12. Online tickets are $14.
Sunday: Festival vendors are open 11am-2pm. The parade starts at 2pm. Free.
