INPOC Presents: Indy BLK+ Pride Summer Fest 2026

Get ready for Indy BLK+ Pride Summer Fest, a 20-year anniversary that is Indianapolis’ premier celebration honoring the brilliance, resilience, culture, and joy of Black and Brown LGBTQ+ communities! This annual community-centered celebration brings together music, art, performance, education, and connection for a day of unapologetic queer excellence.

Taking place at the beautiful Garfield Park and McAllister Amphitheatre, Indy BLK+ Pride Summer Fest is more than a Pride event—it’s a celebration of identity, community, and belonging. It is a space created to uplift Black and Brown LGBTQ+ people while welcoming allies, families, and community members from across Indiana and beyond.

Join us for a full day of unforgettable experiences featuring:

✨ Live music and dynamic performances
🎭 Local artists, entertainers, and cultural showcases
🛍️ Black and Brown-owned vendors, entrepreneurs, and creatives
🍴 Food, flavors, and experiences from our community
🌈 Community organizations, wellness resources, and support services
🤝 Meaningful opportunities to connect, celebrate, and build together

Indy BLK+ Pride Summer Fest intentionally centers communities that are often marginalized within traditional Pride spaces. In a state where affirming spaces for Black and Brown LGBTQ+ people remain limited, this festival creates a powerful environment where our community can experience visibility, safety, celebration, and connection.

Beyond celebration, Indy BLK+ Pride Summer Fest is an investment in our community. By prioritizing Black and Brown vendors, artists, performers, and creatives, the festival supports economic empowerment while highlighting the incredible talent and innovation within our communities.

Whether you’re coming to dance in the crowd, discover new artists, support local businesses, connect with community resources, or simply exist freely and authentically—Indy BLK+ Pride Summer Fest is your space to celebrate.

Bring your chosen family. Bring your friends. Bring your full self.

Come experience a day filled with Black joy, queer excellence, culture, and community.
