June 13, 2026: Queer Joy Takes Center Stage
Mark your calendars—the annual Indy Pride Parade and Festival returns on June 13, 2026. This summer, we're curating a day of vibrant celebration, deep community connection, and unapologetic joy. This is where queer joy thrives, where liberation and belonging take center stage, and where we come together to spark meaningful change.
Under new leadership, we're returning to our fundamentals: serving our community with intention and care. We're reimagining the Indy Pride Festival experience from the ground up—elevating our festival footprint to create more dynamic spaces for connection and celebration, enhancing vendor experiences with better support and visibility, and ensuring every attendee feels the energy and inclusivity that defines our community. This is about getting back to what matters most: creating a space where LGBTQ+ Hoosiers can flourish, find refuge, and celebrate together.
Parade entry registration and festival vendor registration are both open now. We're calling on organizations, businesses, community groups, and creative teams to bring their most authentic selves to the streets of Indianapolis, and inviting vendors and entertainers to be part of our reimagined festival experience. We're working hard to finalize all the details that will make this year unforgettable, and more information on logistics, entertainment, and programming will be announced in the coming weeks.
