The 6th Annual Akron Pride Festival on Sat 08.26.23 was blessed with gorgeous weather, a massive crowd that spilled over from Main Street to Bowery, and a vibe that produced nothing but smiles. In its short tenure, Akron Pride Festival has grown to become one of the major Ohio Pride events on the calendar, with vendors, supporters, musicians and entertainers from 10AM until fireworks closed the show at 10PM.
Entertainers on the main Lock 3 stage included Cleveland’s own Vanity Crash, Dreamstates, Madison Rose and Greyson Chance followed by the featured drag show starring Marcia Marcia Marcia. The Equity Stage sidestage featured the Millennial Theatre Project, Ethan Soza and Pretty Pretty Awful, and families could enjoy a Pride Children’s Area with an inflatable slide, while DJs like DJ Nick Duve were spinning nonstop.
