The PrideFest Grand Pride Parade happened in downtown St. Louis over the weekend, and just like Rob Thomas once said, it was a hot one.
The festival celebrates St. Louis' queer community and also serves as a gathering place for local allies and activists. The two-day event brings hundreds of thousands of people to downtown, and the best part of the festival is the big parade.
Our photographer Theo Welling was there to capture the joyous scene.
