Rainbow Festival

The Midtown streets will come alive with entertainment, political speakers and events at the surrounding nightclubs to raise awareness and money for charities important to the gay and lesbian community. If you don't know someone who is gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual or intersexual, go to the festival to find out how to support them, and make a few friends along the way. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., $10; 20th and K streets; http://cgnie.org.
