TOLEDO, Ohio — Equality Toledo is hosting its sixth annual "Love Fest" Saturday, an event filled with music, food and festivities in support and celebration of the city's LGBTQ+ residents.
From 3 p.m. to midnight at the "Love Wall" on 1209 Adams St., visitors can enjoy live music from live local bands, drag performances, DJs and other artists. The event will be hosted by emcees Deja D. Dellataro and Selena T. West.
