LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The Henderson Equality Center, located near the intersection of Stephanie Street and Sunset Road, celebrated its fourth Pride Fest at Sunset Park on Saturday.
The event offered food, drinks, and games and was free for the public to attend. Summer Arevalo, a Las Vegas local, brought her children to the event.
“I thought it was important for my kids to be around something different and show them that this is part of our life,” Arevalo said.
