Hey scenesters! If the only creativity in your life exists of excuses you make up for calling out of work, then let SWAY prescribe some culture for your life. (And we're not talking about the nasty mold growing in your refrigerator)
Welcome SWAYsters to the beginning of the long summer months – the real reason we’re called the Valley of the Sun! We are about to embark on what is certain to keep us hot and happy all summer long with pool parties, backyard barbeques, trips to the lake, beach, river, water park, and lots of other reasons to celebrate the sun!
BUT – if the idea of that is too flamboyant for your tastes, and it sometimes is for ours, Phoenix Pride is the perfect spot to offer something for everyone. Families, friends, kids, and allies are welcome to this celebration of diversity. Once a year, the gays gather together in the park to show off our talents in music, performance, art, and community service. With community and bistro stages for live music, and dance tents to showcase our Deeejays extraordinaire, you will not lack for your style of sound.
The Phoenix Pride Celebration will also play host to numerous vendors peddling their wares and giving you freebies! There is also a special Kids' Space and lots of local foods. We would be remiss to leave out one minor detail…. The booze! Bud Light, Smirnoff Vodka, and Barefoot Wines keep the libations flowing and the mood festive! What better way to spend a warm Phoenix weekend than in the park with an ice cold Bud Light? The party starts with LUCKY at Apollo’s on Friday, April 17th and continues at Steel Indian School Park all weekend long. And with festival tickets starting at only $15, how could you pass up all this fun?
See you in the Park! (You’ll recognize us in the boas...)

We especially love that the best and biggest summer festival to kick it all off is the one and only Phoenix Pride! This is a time for Gay Phoenix to come bursting out of their closets wearing yellow feather boas and patent leather heels to celebrate all that it means to be out and proud in our town. 
And on the main stage throughout the day they’ll have all kinds of performers and talent from local acts: Barbra Seville’s Phoenix Phollies, to national headliners: The Clicks 
and The Gin Blossoms.
