Put the festival on your calendar.
- Whether that be in your planner, your phone’s calendar app, or that special place in your head, be sure that the 2021 Spencer Pride Festival is proudly placed there for Saturday, October 16 from 12-7 PM.
- Don’t forget to add your travel time.

Plan what you want to DO at Spencer Pride in order to ensure that you are getting the most out of the day.
- Do you want to take advantage of the free immunization clinic or free HIV screening? If so, those are available from 12-3 PM.
- Is there a particular performer you MUST see? Be ready to line up in advance of the performance time in order to get a spot indoors (indoor seating capacity is VERY limited!). To see the entertainment lineup, visit www.SpencerPride.org/festival/entertainment21.
- Are you wanting to join in the Pet Parade? This event takes place at 3:30 & starts at the Western Skateland Plaza in front of the Tivoli Theatre. While you do not need to register in advance, you may want to consider a fun costume for your pet (& yourself!). Prizes will be given to pet participants for Best Costume & for Best Personality
Plan what you want to WEAR.
- Dress appropriately for the weather (it’s Indiana, so it may snow, rain, & be blazingly hot all in the same day!).
- Bring a mask if you have a special one that you like. If you don’t bring your own mask it’s ok as we will have plenty available for you. Remember: masks are required in all indoor festival venues as well as for select outside activities, such as our bounce house. For more information about our COVID-19 precautions, please visit our special web post about this.
- It’s Pride & it’s near Halloween. Feel free to wear a costume if you would like. Just remember – Spencer Pride is a family—friendly event.
