An estimated 25,000 people attended the 12th Annual Stonewall Street Festival and Parade along the popular LGBT strip on June 19.
The event lasted from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. and featured a parade, exhibits, a cook's tent, wine tasting and main stage entertainment. This year's grand marshal was Thomas Roberts, MSNBC's openly gay 11 a.m. news anchor. Roberts “came out” professionally in 2006 and later served on a panel titled “Off Camera: The Challenges for LGBT TV Anchors.”
The Stonewall Street Festival and Parade is Fort Lauderdale's and Wilton Manors' largest single-day LGBT event.
