The rainy and chilly weather was no match for Mid-South Pride Festival and Parade spectators and participants.

According to the Mid-South Pride Festival and Parade's website, this event is the single largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) and ally gathering in the Mid-South. In just nine years, Mid-South Pride has grown in attendance from less than 500 people to well over 8,000.

This year's theme for the festival was " Peace. Love. Pride." Take a look at some photos that were sent to Your Neighborhood or found from Twitter or Instagram.
