It’s been a busy day in Denver, what with PrideFest and Comic Con happening at the same time.
Civic Center Park was mobbed for PrideFest, which featured a Dogs in Drag costume contest.

It’s also Juneteenth, and celebrations have been happening all day in Five Points.
Oh, and most adorably, there was a Bumblebee Jamboree at the Denver Botanic Gardens.
It's also the Bumblebee Jamboree at @denverbotanic today! Lots of adorable insects.
