Indy Pride takes place June 8 in Indianapolis

Indy Pride, the annual event celebrating the LGBTQ community of Indianapolis and beyond, took place June 8 in a sea of glitter and decorative fans. The notes of “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor could be heard blocks away from the parade down Massachusetts Avenue. Rainbow flags decorated windows and entryways of shops. At the end of the day, Lizzo performed in Military Park, the venue for the post-parade festival. She discussed topics such as being an ally and promoting body awareness and self-love. The phrase “Happy Pride” echoed amongst attendees of Indy Pride for the entire day.
