NEW IN 2023!! – Clear Bag Policy
To ensure the safety and security of all attendees staff and volunteers at the Indy Pride Festival a new clear bag policy will be enforced at Military Park. SEE FULL CLEAR BAG POLICY DETAILS HERE!
No Outside Alcohol
While the law does allow alcohol sold at the Festival to be taken out of the bar tents, you cannot bring in containers of alcohol; this is still against the law. There will be many vendors onsite to sell alcohol.
Non-Alcoholic Beverages
The June sun can be unrelenting. We encourage everyone to stay hydrated during the day. Each guest is allowed one, non-alcoholic beverage brought in must be in their original, unopened container.
Tobacco-Free Festival
Indy Pride Festival is a tobacco-free festival for the health and safety of our attendees. If attendees choose to smoke, including e-cigarettes or vaping, you must get a pass-out and exit Festival grounds. Pass-out tickets will allow you access to come back in at no additional cost.
Community Zone
The Community Zone is designed for families with entertainment and vendors geared toward children and families. This is a smoke-free, family-friendly area, so please be courteous when visiting this space.
Bags, Coolers & Food
Coolers are not allowed. Purses and bags must adhere to the NEW CLEAR BAG POLICY. All bags will be subject to search. Pre-packaged food is allowed into the Festival.
Pets
While we do not ban pets, we ask that you think twice about bringing your pet(s) due to the large crowds and typically extreme heat. We encourage you to check out Pet Pride for a very pet-friendly event on June 3rd. (Trust us: Your pet will love it!)
All pets must be leashed. You assume full responsibility for your pet and your pet’s behavior.
No Nudity
While we do not want to limit self-expression, the local laws need to be followed. We ask you to observe the simple rule of swimsuit covering. If you can wear it to a public pool you are good to go.
Personal Items = Personal Responsibility
You are solely responsible for your personal items, including the items left in unattended canopies and tents, including cabanas. You assume all risk of their loss or damage. Lost and Found will be located at the Info Tent located at the Pavilion on the east side of the park.
No Fireworks, Flares, or Firearms
Weapons, including firearms and ammunition, of any kind are not permitted. Fireworks and flares are also not permitted.
Other Items Not Permitted: Illegal drugs, open flames, grills or cooking of any kind, bicycles, ATVs, scooters, or motorcycles.
No Unauthorized/Unregistered Vending of Any Kind
No Unauthorized Solicitations, Handbills, Sampling, Giveaways, posting of signs or placards on any surface. We welcome you to register as a Vendor next year.
Golf Carts
Golf carts are reserved for the exclusive use of emergency staff, security, and official representatives of Indy Pride Festival and Indy Pride, Inc. No personal golf carts are permitted.
Safety & Security
There will be medical assistance tent available within the park. Medical teams will also be roving the park offering help to those in need.
If at any time you need emergency assistance and cannot find a medical or security agent, please find an official Indy Pride/Indy Pride Festival representative.
COVID
While we strongly encourage everyone to be vaccinated to attend the Parade and Festival, we will not be requiring vax cards or a negative COVID test. If you are not feeling well, please stay home!
