A colorful rainbow of balloons — and equally colorful people — lined two blocks of the Pearl Street Mall on Saturday, part of a daylong celebration of pride in Boulder's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.
The Pridefest Block Party, as it has been called for the past five years, attracted more than 70 vendors and corporate sponsors this year, Spielmann said. The higher-than-usual corporate interest, and the overall success of the event last year, led event organizers to expand the party to include two blocks of the mall near the Boulder County Courthouse.
"It's good to show we're normal people," he said, "and to show all the groups that make up the community. We're a sub-culture, but we also have our own sub-cultures."
