A million times better than Pride last year. Not jammed in the streets like cattle. A big, beautiful fountain to cool off in (and watch the eye candy cool off in). I visited some of the local sponsors as a thank you before the festival each day, too. It felt like an actual festival, and not a small-town street fair. Best… Pride… EVER!

I didn't go because it was in Detroit.

Pride was wonderful! Just because it's Detroit shouldn't be a reason not to go. It was peaceful! Your loss.

I have to say that it was more festive and it was more of a bigger vibe this time around. It felt like there was more of a diverse crowd. I like that there was more room for people to dance. I think having it in Downtown Detroit was better than having it in Ferndale. I'm already looking ahead to coming back next year.

Very nice venue. I missed Ferndale a lot but this was a great replacement. I felt safe and very welcome the entire day.

I love Ferndale and participated in Friday night's activities, but I really enjoyed how spaced out it was in Hart plaza, especially with a stroller in tow.

Breathtaking. Loved the wide-open spaces. The riverfront and fountain provided beautiful chances to feel a breeze. Wonderful variety of vendors. (Awesome that Amnesty International's booth was so near the Arc of Justice sculpture.) So thrilled to have finally experienced Hart Plaza along with an amazing Pride. Thank you event organizers, volunteers and sponsors for such an inspirational, positive event. I would like to help it come back bigger and better – and still in Detroit – next year.
