The free festival will include vendors, food trucks, a beer garden, two live music stages, and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s part of our mission to create a safe space for the community to see themselves reflected, not just in the artwork, but in the cultural events,\u201d said Fullerton Museum\u2019s Executive Director Elvia Rubalcava. \u201cI think last year we had over 3,000 people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, we\u2019re expecting a really good crowd,\u201d she added. \u201cI think it\u2019s going to be our biggest one yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Be You Fullerton Pride Fest will be held from 2 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 6, at the Fullerton Downtown Plaza, 125 E. Wilshire Ave., next to the museum, and is open to the public for all ages. Attendees are invited to kick off the festivities with the bike parade, which will roll through downtown starting at 1 p.m. from Wilshire Street and Raymond Avenue.<\/p>\n

A cosplay fashion show begins at 3:15 p.m. on the Wilshire Street Stage, where participants are encouraged to show off their creativity and self-expression by bringing their favorite characters to life. Various music groups will headline both stages throughout the day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a little bit of everything,\u201d Rubalcava said. \u201cIt\u2019s a very family-friendly event. But first and foremost, we put this event on to honor and acknowledge and celebrate the LGBT-plus community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pride Fest will also pay tribute to Fullerton Councilmember Ahmad Zahra, who organizers say has supported the museum and the event since its earliest days, as this marks his final year on the City Council.<\/p>\n
