This past weekend, we had the privilege of joining one of the most vibrant and inclusive celebrations in the city — INDY PRIDE 2025. From the energetic parade on Massachusetts Avenue to the lively festival at Monument Circle, and the unforgettable WORD OF MOUTH events on both Saturday and Sunday, every moment was packed with love, color, and community spirit.
Saturday kicked off with the iconic Indy Pride Parade, turning downtown Indy into a wave of rainbow flags, music, and unity. Local organizations, small businesses, and major sponsors came together in support of the LGBTQ+ community, bringing floats, glitter, and joy to the heart of the city. The celebration continued with the Indy Pride Festival at Monument Circle, where food trucks, local vendors, live performances, and thousands of attendees made the entire area buzz with positive energy.
Supporting and celebrating alongside everyone, we soaked in every moment — from powerful performances by local drag artists to the incredible main stage presence of Natasha Bedingfield, who lit up the night with a nostalgic and powerful set. And as always, The Palace brought their unmatched energy and charisma to the stage, reminding us why we love seeing them perform every single time.
That night, and again on Sunday, we joined WORD OF MOUTH, a private celebration that brought together artists, allies, creators, and community leaders in a more intimate, but equally electric atmosphere. We experienced unique drag shows, bold fashion, amazing people, and vibrant dance floors. The weekend reached a perfect high on Sunday with an unforgettable performance by Tinashe, closing things out with style, talent, and pure joy.
We send our heartfelt congratulations to the entire Indy Pride team for organizing such a meaningful, inclusive, and joyful weekend. Their dedication to creating safe and celebratory spaces for the LGBTQ+ community is felt in every detail. Huge appreciation goes out to the performers, volunteers, sponsors, and everyone who helped bring this celebration to life.
Pride is more than a party — it’s a reminder that visibility matters, that love is powerful, and that community wins.
Whether you danced in the parade, waved your flag at Monument Circle, or vibed out with us at WORD OF MOUTH, Indy Pride 2025 proved once again that Indy shows up for love.
We’re already counting down to next year. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
