LOUISVILLE, Ky. — One of Kentuckiana's biggest celebrations of love is returning this June.
The Kentuckiana Pride Foundation (KPF) has announced the new dates and times for its annual Pride Parade and Festival.
In past years, the two events took place on a Friday, however, KPF said after reviewing community feedback, the decision was made to have the festival on a Saturday.
The foundation hopes the move to the weekend will ensure more participation and community involvement.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of this year's festivities:
