I prefer Ferndale … it's way more gay friendly than Hart Plaza … There is NOTHING to do down there. At least in Ferndale you can go in and out of the stores and bars.

Trying to be optimistic. I remember when it was in the parking garage in Royal Oak. Out in the streets in Ferndale felt like a breath of fresh air. This will hopefully provide even more exposure. I have faith the organizers of the event AND the city will do everything possible to keep everyone safe. I'm ready to show my PRIDE everywhere and anywhere! Come on June!

I like that it's being moved and expanded. Ferndale was starting to feel too cramped. Of course, Ferndale was convenient because I could walk there. Not sure I'm willing to go to the expense and frustration of driving downtown for the event.

Very disappointing. A loss for both Pridefest and Ferndale. Ferndale loses its signature event that kicks off the summer season and Pridefest will suffer from reduced attendance and a loss of support. Sad.

I will truly miss it being in Ferndale.
