Gay Pride Announces New Venue 

The Show Will Go On At Riverfront Park

 

Kansas City Mayor Mark Funkhouser, Port Authority Executive Director Vincent Gauthier and Pride President, Rick Bumgardner will be on hand for a press event TODAY (May 21) at 2:30 PM at The Pavilion at Richard L Berkley Riverfront Park.*

 

“The Mayor’s Office and Port Authority have been a tremendous help in facilitating a new venue for Pride after Penn Valley Park was ruled out due to recent rains.  As a result of their efforts, we are excited to announce our move to Riverfront Park for 2010,” said Pride President, Rick Bumgardner.  “When we were scrambling to find a location for our festival – they called us.  And for that we are so grateful.  It’s going to be a great year for Pride!” 

 

“The Kansas City spirit is to help out a neighbor,” said Mayor Funkhouser.  “We were more than happy to help Pride find a new home this year and perhaps start a tradition on the Riverfront.”

 

Pride is a week-long celebration and educational opportunity for the LGBTIQA community.  With the theme of “Then. . .Now. . .Forever,” this year’s Pride Festival Week will be held May 31 - June 6, 2010.
