San Antonio Family Pride Fair
Launched last year with a goal to celebrate San Antonio’s diversity, provide opportunities for families to learn about LGBTQ programs and services, and support the health and well-being of the community, San Antonio Family Pride Fair kicks off Pride month within the colorful confines of Market Square. A joint effort between Center City Development, Metro Health and others, the inaugural event brought hundreds to the west end of Downtown for a day filled with live music, festival fare and family-oriented activities. In addition to informational booths manned by reps from dozens of LGBTQ organizations, year two promises a spirited performance by the 50-plus-member Pride of San Antonio Showband, four-part harmonies from the Live Oak Singers and Latin jams courtesy of local outfit Geno, handcrafted wares for purchase from the SA Queer Collective, food booths (offering gorditas, churros, raspas and other favorites), plus a Family Fun Zone provided by Parks and Recreation. Free, 11am-7pm Sat, Market Square, 514 W. Commerce St., (210) 207-8600, getcreativesanantonio.com. — BR
