The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden celebrates LGBTQ+ Pride Month with its second Pride in Bloom celebration on June 10 and 11. The event returns with a full weekend of LGBTQ+ artisans, entertainers, chefs and small businesses. Guests are invited to shop items at the curated vendor market, pack or purchase a picnic, listen to the live entertainment and enjoy Gary Lee Price’s Great Contributors’ bronze exhibition.
