Des Moines, Iowa, July 8, 2008 - Capital City Pride has announced Saturday, October 4 as the date for the PrideFest Street Party in the Historic East Village and Sunday, October 5 for the annual PrideFest Parade, followed by the community festival at Simon Estes amphitheater.
The annual PrideFest typically takes place the second weekend of June, however, due to the worsening flooding situation in Des Moines that week, Capital City Pride, in consultation with Des Moines authorities, decided to postpone PrideFest 2008 events until fall. All available city resources were needed for emergency preparations. Capital City Pride had previously announced dates for PrideFest to take place in September. The September dates were chosen based on information available to Capital City Pride at that time. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Capital City Pride has rescheduled PrideFest 2008 until the first weekend in October.
Capital City Pride would like to thank the entire Des Moines community for its support and understanding, and we look forward to celebrating with you in October.

so i have a question... what all takes place at the pride fest. and is there an admission charge. Is this event for all ages.
No admission charge, all events are free and open to the general public. A variety of vendors are there to appeal to all ages. You won't want to miss the parade scheduled for Sunday, October 5 at 1pm. It's always colorful and entertaining. The parade is followed by a festival in Simon Estes amphitheater where entertainers will perform and vendors will be setup through 6pm.
