SALT LAKE CITY — Summer Falkenrath has been making earrings, buttons, magnets and more for two years.
The owner of 'Falkencraft' was a vendor at the Utah Pride Festival for the first time last year, and possibly the last because they can’t afford a booth this year. More than 150,000 people attend Pride; the state’s biggest Pride festival is just one weekend, but the money raised goes toward helping LGBTQ+ people all year long, said Jonathan Foulk, Co-CEO of the Utah Pride Center.
Last year, vendors could pay $400 for a shared booth. This year, applications start at $1,500 for a 10-by-10-foot booth.
