The lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender community celebrated the culmination of the annual Pride festival on the Delaney Park Strip.
More than five-thousand people attended the festivities on Saturday to mark the end of a week-long celebration.
Officials say the first PrideFest began decades ago in honor of the Stonewall Riot of 1969.

Organizers expressed satisfaction with this year's event and its message.
"As you can see, the numbers of young people here are astounding, that's really what the movement was about," Annie Marie Moylan, Pride Festival Organizer, said. "It's about the fact that young people believe that equality is right for everyone."
