The annual Indy Pride Parade and Festival featured more than 180 parade participants and 30 performers.
Even among the explosion of rainbow apparel – shirts, shoes, shades and all – Jeff Johnson’s balloon plumage stood out.
This is one of Johnson’s favorite days of the year, he said. The encouragement from the cheering crowd, he said, is unlike anything else. The parade route stretched around half a mile down Mass Ave and ran for two hours, helmed by grand marshals Parents of Trans Youth and David Hochoy, who’s set to retire after 32 years as artistic director at Dance Kaleidoscope in Indianapolis. Adding to around 180 parade participants were more than 30 drag performers, DJs and other artists on stage at the festival – a packed lineup headlined by rapper Saucy Santana.
The day drew a mix of longtime Pride attendees like Johnson and newcomers like Austen Leak, 33, and Marissa Schmidter, 27. The two traveled an hour north from Terre Haute for their first Indy Pride and were among those taking in the festival sights and sounds.
