NORFOLK, Va. — Pride month is coming fast and Hampton Roads is gearing up. Hampton Roads Pride has announced the headliners for this year's PrideFest.
Spencer Ludwig — Grammy-winning and Grammy-performing trumpeter, former Capital Cities band member, songwriter, and producer — will grace the audience with an electrifying musical performance.
Mo Heart, formerly known as Monique Heart, is also joining Ludwig as a headliner. She was a legendary fan favorite on "RuPaul's Drag Race." Since then, she has been diving into celebrity fashion TV with her own show, "The Walk In," where she visits the closets of celebrities like Lil Nas X, Charli XCX, Maren Morris and more.

"Their incredible talent and passion for equality align perfectly with our mission, and we know they will deliver an unforgettable experience for all," he wrote in a news release.
This is the 35th Annual PrideFest celebrating love and inclusion in the Hampton Roads community. It's the largest annual celebration of the LGBTQ+ community in Virginia, attracting over 40,000 attendees.
