🌈 GOOD MORNING, PIKEVILLE 🌈
🎉TODAY’S THE DAY! 🎉
The flags are going up. The glitter is coming is being sprinkled. Our vendors, performers, volunteers, community partners, and crew are getting ready.
And in just a few hours, we get to fill Pikeville with joy, music, color, community, and PRIDE. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Whether this is your first Pride or you’ve been with us from the beginning, there is a place for you here.
Before you head out, a few quick Pride Day reminders:
☀️ Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, or whatever helps you handle the sun.
💧 Bring weather appropriate gear
🪪 Bring your ID if you plan to purchase alcoholic beverages.
💳 Bring cash or a card so you can show some love to our incredible vendors, artists, food vendors, and community organizations. (Cash to tip performers!)
📱 Charge your phone to take lots of pictures!
💊 Bring any medications, medical supplies, ear protection, mobility aids, or other things you may need to stay comfortable throughout the day.
And please leave weapons, outside alcohol, illegal substances, fireworks, and anything intended to threaten, intimidate, or disrupt the event at home.
🐾 Trained service animals are welcome. If you’re thinking about bringing a pet just for fun, please consider the crowds, noise, heat, pavement, and length of the day before deciding whether Pride is the right environment for them. Just a heads up- Pets aren’t allowed in the plaza area and will be turned away.
You’ll also see our security team and volunteers working hard at the entrance. Please give them a little patience and kindness. Screening and wristbands may take a few extra minutes, but those steps help us create a safer space for everyone.
Then come on in.
Bring your people. Make some new friends. Shop local. Cheer loudly. Dance badly. Take too many pictures. Wear something colorful. Wear something comfortable. Wear both.
Most importantly:
Come exactly as you are.
We’ve worked all year for this day.
Pride Blooms HERE. 🌸🌈
