Metro East Pride Fest started with a small group of women who wanted to celebrate diversity with a party and BBQ outside Club Escapade. Metro East Gays and Straights (MEGS) was founded by Janet Brannon, Barbara (Jesse) Arms and Janet Wright. At the first planning meeting for the Pride Party, community support was overwhelming and grew a diverse group of individuals. Metro East’s First Annual PrideFest: Celebrating Diversity and Equality was held on June 21, 2008 on 2nd Street and West Main in Belleville, IL.
