MAY, 13, 2024
Evansville, IN –Get ready to paint the town rainbow for the Evansville Region’s largest LGBTQ celebration: the 2024 River City Pride Festival & Parade on June 1, 2024, along Main Street in Downtown Evansville. This annual celebration promises a day filled with joy, vivacity, and fun for all ages.
“River City Pride” invites everyone to join in the festivities. The event kicks off with a lively parade at noon, marching down Main Street from 5th to 2nd Street. Spectators can expect a beautiful display of colorful floats representing local organizations, and enthusiastic participants spreading messages of love and pride. Marking a significant first for River City Pride, we are thrilled to announce the exciting addition of Grand Marshals Mayor Stephanie Terry and Deputy Mayor Lindsay Locasto; history-making, new City leadership.
Following the parade, the excitement continues with the festival on Main Street between 2nd Street and Riverside Drive. Here, attendees will find an array of delicious treats from food trucks, and a bustling marketplace showcasing the talents and creativity of Evansville’s LGBTQ+ community and allies. Thanks to our friends at River Kitty Cafe, we will also offer an indoor sensory-friendly space for our friends who may need a quieter environment to celebrate pride.
The heart of the festival lies at the One Main Stage, sponsored by One Main Financial, where a stellar lineup of entertainment awaits. From energetic performances to inspiring speeches, the stage will be alive with the spirit of pride and celebration throughout the day until 10 pm.
