This weekend, there are a number of Pride events and festivals throughout the region. One of the largest will be at Syracuse’s Inner Harbor.

Joining Spectrum News 1 to talk about Saturday’s Pride Festival is Jimmy Monto, vice president of Development and Fundraising for CNY Pride. Monto explains what people can expect from this year’s festival, how important the festival is to the LGBTQ+ community, and more.

The Pride parade will step off around 11 a.m. Saturday. And the festival runs from noon-5 p.m. at the Inner Harbor.
