The main stage at the 2019 Akron Pride Festival in Hardesty Park in Akron.

Thousands made their way to Akron’s Hardesty park Saturday  in the pursuit of celebrating love, life and pride. For attendees of the third annual Akron Pride Festival, all three were in abundance.

Starting early in the morning with a parade and going well into the evening with live performances, the park remained vibrant throughout the day.
