Downtown Burlington bustled with Pride Vermont 2010 during the pride parade Saturday.  The annual parade called for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community to go all out, bringing in big support from various political candidates and activism groups.  Smiles spread across the faces of spectators lining the street as marchers made a statement.  The celebration, complete with dancing, face painting, and beads, showcased Burlington’s diverse community and raised awareness.  It was “anything goes” on Church Street as people of all ages made their way down the thoroughfare with everything from rollerblades and flashy hula hoops to unicycles and stilts of jaw dropping heights.

After the parade, street performers took advantage of the freshly energized crowd.  Two young guitar players collaborated with a few members of Tap Kids to put on a real show.
