The parade has grown bigger and better since its inaugural year.
"It was a lot different. The parade was about 10 minutes long. We had some naysayers on the sidelines," said Zoyer Zyndel. "I haven't seen any of those here, so I can see Fresno was evolved and has become a more welcoming place for the LGBTQ community."
The parade included several floats, community groups, and churches in the theme of "Together in Pride."

In all, about 5,000 people visited the festival.
