This year the Kentuckiana Pride Parade and Festival will take place Saturday, June 18. The Kentuckiana Pride Parade kicks off a full day of festivities starting at noon at the intersection of Campbell and Market. The Parade will wind through the Nulu area and end at the Big Four Lawn where the festival takes place from noon to 10:00 PM.

After reviewing feedback from community members over the past two years, KPF decided to make the change to ensure more participation and community involvement. The annual Pride parade will kick off the celebration on Saturday, June 18, 2022, starting at noon. The Parade will step off Campbell and Market Streets in Nulu and end at the festival entrance at the Big Four Lawn at Waterfront Park. The annual parade is free to attend and includes more than 100 colorful entries each year.
