The year 2010 is shaping up to be a year of change for Sarasota Pride. The organization announced earlier this spring that it would hold its annual festival outdoors on Main Street for the first time in its history on Oct. 30. Then, at St. Pete Pride in June, the organization unveiled its new logo.
The logo is an artist’s rendering of the iconic Ringling Bridge in Sarasota shaded in the colors of the rainbow. The bridge is near the J.D. Hamel Park at Gulfstream and Main in downtown Sarasota.
The past two years, the Pride celebration has been at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, but organizers say the event has outgrown the facility and had encountered too many expenses and hurdles.
