Fresh City Life celebrates our GLBT community at this year’s Pridefest. When you need a break from all the pageantry in the park, come inside the McNichols Building to cool down and have some fun. We’ll be serving up festival realness at our lemonade stand in the McNick. Sample some cooling beverages from our friends at Whole Foods Market and make a free button or fridge magnet commemorating an important figure or quotable quote from GLBT history.
