“The addition of the Gayborhood Market to PrideFest was exactly what I think Denver Pride is all about in its core.

Connection, Community, Art, Culture, and Love – all encapsulated in a row of creators! The opportunity to meet and connect with other queer artists in my city is all magic and truly an honor to be included in such a lively event.”

– Natalie Espino, Alma De Arte

“I had such a wonderful experience at Gayborhood marketplace. Not only was it my most successful market of the year, but it changed the trajectory of my business.

I’m now working solely with queer-friendly events and queer-owned businesses. I’m not only planning on coming back this year, but I’ve started an online series where you can follow my preparations for this year’s Pride.”

– Erin Mullane, Velvet Void Creations

“Denver Pride 2024 felt like Pink Pearl’s own coming out party, I had started my business months prior and had been struggling with finding community and identity. I would have never had the opportunity to join at that stage, but the Gayborhood space gave Pink Pearl enough traction to prove that it could be a successful business!

This year I’ll be returning with a full exhibitor space! I am grateful, and consistently humbled to be surrounded by such a supportive community at Denver Pride.”

– Annie Marshall, Pink Pearl Denver
