It is almost time for the 5th Annual River City Pride Parade and Festival to make a colorful return to downtown Evansville, and as Official Media Partners, we cannot wait to celebrate with our LGBTQIA+ family, friends, and neighbors!

The Parade Kicks It All Off

On Saturday, June 7, 2025, the Pride Parade will make its way through downtown, and when it's through, the festival will begin! There will be no shortage of delicious food trucks at this year's event, and according to River City Pride, the festival promises to be the biggest yet, with over 100 vendors confirmed, live music, and a fabulous cast of drag performers!

Live Music, Drag Icons & 100+ Vendors

This year, it all happens on the One Main Financial Main Stage. With no admission to join in the festivities, all are welcome. 2025 will feature some special evening headliners: Rosé from Rupaul's Drag Race Season 13, and Spikey Van Dykey, the iconic Drag King Project founder. The evening shows will be hosted by special guest Pat Yo Weave!

In 2019 an organization that was new to Evansville's LGBTQIA+ community launched into planning, organizing, and executing the city's very first-ever Pride Parade and Festival. The day, wildly colorful and hugely successful, was hosted by River City Pride. Full of vibrancy, joy, and love, June 22, 2019, was a day for the Evansville history books.
