NCOD Street Festival is Back in the Loop

After a few years away from where it all began in the Fruit Loop (the gay nightlife area at the intersection of Paradise and Naples), the popular National Coming Out Day Street Festival we started nearly a decade ago is returning to its original home. On the evening of Saturday, Oct. 9, the owners of FreeZone, Gipsy, 8� and Piranha will be pulling out all the stops to bring you a nighttime celebration for LGBT persons and allies of all ages, totally free. Hosted by Channel 8's Chris Salda�a, the festival will begin at 8 p.m. and continue until 1 a.m. The carnival atmosphere will bring together a plethora of entertainers, games and vendors. Plenty of parking will be available behind Get Booked. Opportunities are still available for sponsors, entertainers and vendors. Contact Tony Clark at [email protected] or 702-203-4499 if interested. Major sponsors of the festival include Miller Light, Bacardi Torched Cherry and QVegas.
