Manatee Pride brings out more than a thousand people every year.
WFLA’s 8 On Your Side covered the 7th annual Manatee Pride, a festival that draws more than a thousand people every year. Crowds packed Rossi Park for vendors, food, and drag performers, and many people told the station the celebration was needed more than ever.
