'We are definitely heavily in conversations with IMPD to make sure that everything we do is considerate of all the different populations that we have within our scope.'
INDIANAPOLIS — It's been 3 years since the last Indy Pride Parade and Festival, and there have been some changes.
In 2019, the Indy Pride Parade and Festival had 50,000 attendees. After two years without the staple event to be out and proud in the Circle City, Indy Pride is prepared for a massive influx of people on June 11. Three years later, Indy Pride says it is moving forward with the use of private security to manage festival entry and exits. However, police will still have a"presence on festival grounds," Indy Pride stated in an announcement in May.
Due to Homeland Security requirements, IMPD will also be handling traffic control and pedestrian safety. "Being a good Hoosier girl, I believe that you shouldn't take down a fence until you know why it's there," Snider said.
