Capital Pride Festival draws crowd despite rain

The annual Capital Pride Festival took place Saturday on Broadway and the St. Clair Mall. The event, which supports and celebrates the LGBTQ+ community in Frankfort, drew vendors, food trucks, and information booths. Rain didn’t slow the event’s activities, which included live music, drag shows, and drag queen story time. The Capital Pride Festival began in 2017 and has been held annually since then, except for a two-year hiatus during the COVID pandemic.
