Evansville's First-Ever Pride Parade and Festival

In 2019, River City Pride hosted Evansville's first-ever Pride Parade and Festival. It was a beautiful day full of joy, love, and celebration for the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies. People lined the streets to cheer as the parade traveled through parts of downtown Evansville, including along historic Main Street. Once the parade came to a close, the festival began!

2020 & 2021 Didn't Go As Planned

During the First Annual River City Pride Festival, there was plenty of food and vendor booths, music, dancing, drag, and more. It was a truly magical and memorable day! In 2020, the coronavirus threw a bit of a wrench in the works for the Second Annual Pride Parade and Festival, forcing event organizers to cancel the event.

River City Pride was hopeful for 2021, but ultimately the organization had to pivot to a virtual event, bumping it back from June, the traditional month to celebrate Pride, to October. It was held as a live stream with a Halloween theme - A Virtual Spooky Pride, shared via Facebook Live.
