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.

Indy Pride is now accepting proposals for major production partners for the 2026 Indy Pride Festival.

Indy Pride is grateful to receive a $1,000 grant from the IndyGo Foundation to help increase accessibility for our food access program, Feeding Joy. This support will allow us to provide IndyGo bus passes to community members picking up food boxes from our Near East Headquarters.

Indy Pride is excited to welcome the community to our newly refreshed website. Designed with clarity, accessibility, and ease in mind, the updated site makes it simpler than ever to connect with our work, explore upcoming events, and engage with Pride year-round.

As Indy Pride closes out the year, we extend our deepest thanks to six members of our Board of Directors whose terms are coming to an end. 

In a letter to the community, Indy Pride’s Board Chair reflects on the organization’s roots and affirms a continued commitment to year-round visibility, care, and belonging for LGBTQ+ Hoosiers—while underscoring the growing importance of community support in sustaining Pride’s future.

Indy Pride appoints Jennifer Carruthers as Executive Director, bringing experienced, Midwest-rooted leadership to guide the organization’s next chapter and strengthen year-round impact for LGBTQ+ Hoosiers.

Indy Pride announces Alex Richardson as Board Chair and Komal Sheth-St. Pierre as Vice Chair, marking a new chapter focused on stability, transparency, and community trust.

Feeding Joy is Indy Pride’s food access program responding to food insecurity across Central Indiana. Through free, monthly grocery boxes distributed via drive-through pickup, Feeding Joy supports community members with safe, nutritious, shelf-stable food. The program is grant-funded for one year and grows through community donations and partnerships.
