The 2023 Spencer Pride Festival takes place this Saturday, October 7 from 12-7 pm in downtown Spencer. Thanks to Boston Scientific, we continue to offer free parking and free shuttle service for our attendees. If you are an individual with a disability and would like to park closer to the event, we have reserved space for you adjacent to our marketplace on the Owen County Courthouse square.
The Pride Shuttle runs approximately every 10-15 minutes. Upon departing
Boston Scientific, the shuttle will first stop at our festival along Main Street. This is the place to get out. The shuttle also runs past the Owen County Public Library and then the Spencer Pride commUnity center. When you are ready to leave, the stop at the Spencer Pride commUnity center is the quickest option to get back. The Pride Shuttle runs until 7:30 PM, so attendees should plan to be at the stop by no later than 7:30 to get the last shuttle to Boston Scientific.
The shuttle is pet/friendly.

- Pull up to one of the available reserved spaces. A Spencer Pride volunteer will confirm you are wanting to park in a spot for people with disabilities. Once you confirm this, they will remove the cone and you can pull in. No special parking tag or documentation is required. Simply answer “yes” when asked if you are intending to park in a space for someone with disabilities. If a volunteer does not immediately appear, please be patient for them.
