The 2015 PrideFest saw cool to cold wind off the lake on Friday. Saturday had similar temperatures but felt much more mild as the wind had shifted. Sunday was warm and humid; there was a brief (20 minute) downpour of rain between 6:30 and 7:00pm, but then it cleared up for a gorgeous evening close. Attendance saw a slight increase from the previous year.

Headline acts for the weekend were: Friday: Alex Newell; Saturday: Ani DiFranco (preceded by fireworks); Sunday: Ty Herndon and En Vogue.
