Adams County previews Pride event layout, safety plan and programming
Summary
County staff outlined the Pride event schedule, vendor and art activations, parking plans and coordinated on‑site emergency services; staff said Laz parking, Adams County Sheriff, Brighton Fire and Citadel security will manage parking and safety.
Courtney, the county events lead, presented the logistics and programming for this weekend’s Pride event at the county fairgrounds, including site layout changes, vendor placement and safety plans.
Key operational points: vendor pods in the exhibit hall parking area, use of a newly completed gravel lot for general parking (estimated capacity ~900), paved lot reserved for accessible parking, on‑site traffic direction provided by Laz parking staff, and entertainer/vendor load‑in and parking plans. Courtney said both stages are booked all day with family‑focused programming on the gazebo stage (drag‑queen story hour, community band, poet laureate Eric Francis at 3 p.m.) and performances, including a drag show, on the exhibit stage.
The event will feature about 59 vendor booths, interactive public art (Barter Collective, Rainbow Dome), free kids activities (ropes course, quad‑jump trampoline) and a free arcade area. Security and medical coordination include Adams County Sheriff deputies, Brighton Fire paramedics and Citadel Security; overnight security will be present Friday and Saturday to protect installations.
Ending note: staff said shirts will be provided to commissioners who plan to attend and reiterated the county’s operational and safety plans for the event.
