The day was filled with sunshine and rainbows at Sylvester Park for the Capital City Pride Festival, which continues tomorrow with a noon-time parade downtown. For more information, go to: www.CapitalCityPride.net.

The family-friendly event featured plenty of food, friends, non-profit group information tables and commercial vendor booths. Olympia's own Grammy-award winning Kimya Dawson and lots of other local talent entertained the crowd.
