"For so often, for so long the LGTBQ population has been denigrated and we want to show that we love everybody and our city loves everybody," says Rev. Barbara Merrick from the Episcopal Diocese of Kentucky.
This is the fifth year for the festival in the Highlands that shut down Bardstown Road between Grinstead Drive and Beechwood Avenue for the event.
