Led by those with young people connected to Weave’s Speak Out Program, the event evolves with community needs and focuses on empowering youth voices. This year includes live performances, free food trucks, art exhibition and markets, kids’ games, face painting, interactive installations, and more. Open to all ages, Mad Pride is a drug and alcohol-free event.
