Fort Wayne Pride 2026 Indiana

Info

Fort Wayne Pride takes place over the weekend 24/25th July 2026.

We will be returning to both Headwaters Park East and West. This has allowed for an addition of a non-profit resource fair, a second entertainment stage, and a better space for our workshops and KidSpace area. The festival features live entertainment, vendors, a beer tent, food, workshops, tournaments/ trivia, KidSpace, and a fabulous time with the community.
