The Windsor-Essex 2013 Pride Fest is set for Aug. 9 to 11. The event lineup includes concerts and entertainment ? including free family events ? from Friday night all the way to Sunday afternoon:

    • Live music at the Festival Plaza on Friday, Aug. 9 at 8 p.m. The ?River Rock? event includes performances by the Unquiet Dead and The Blue Stones. Tickets can be purchased at Windsor Pride, 400 Pelissier St.
    • Family Fun Day on Saturday, Aug. 10 at noon until 5 pm. Little people and their caregivers can hang out with the clowns, play on the bouncy castles, get their faces painted and their hands on some cheerful balloons. The event is free and takes place at the Riverfront Festival Plaza.
    • The White Party at the waterfront starts Saturday at 10 p.m. for anyone who is still awake after clowning around with the kids during the day. Along with guest DJs Shawn Ricker and Josh Karmin, the party will also host acrobats and cash bar. Cover is $5.
    • It wouldn?t be a Pride weekend with the parade, naturally. Sunday, Aug. 11 is parade day, starting at noon at the Riverfront Plaza. Along with the march through the city, live music and performances are also on the program. A $2 donation to support the event is appreciated.
