FW Pride is open to all ages throughout the festival, however, after 8pm both nights   Pride will not be considered “Family Friendly”, so plan accordingly. Alcoholic Beverages cannot be brought into the park.  (City Law)

    Volunteer Opportunities

    Pride is always looking for volunteers to assist with set up, tear down and the general running of the festival.  We are also in need of security personnel.  As a volunteer, you will receive a free shirt and free admission for the day you work the festival.  Volunteers may be asked to work the front gate, sell Pride merchandise, set up for the festival or do general “park maintenance”.
