Dallas Pride organizers today announced that they are now accepting applications for vendors at the Dallas Pride Festival of Rainbows happening Saturday, June 6, in downtown Dallas. Vendor applications are available at the Dallas Pride website.
Organizers announced earlier that the annual Dallas Pride festivities, including the parade, were moving from Fair Park to downtown, with the Dallas Pride Sunset Parade on Main happening from 7-9 p.m. on June 6.
Admission to the parade is free.
The festival will be held across four parks in downtown, all of which will open at 11 a.m. Organizers explained that the “expanded festival footprint allows for distinct zones catering to the diverse LGBTQ+ community and its allies.”
The Main Street Festival will be held from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. in Main Street Garden Park. Teen Pride and the Family Pride Zone will be open from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. in Harwood Park. The Community Festival takes place from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. at Pacific Plaza, and Pegasus Plaza, open from 11 a.m.-10 p.m., will provide a venue for parade vendors and the parade street-side bleachers.
Admission to the festival is $10 in advance, available at the Dallas Pride website, and $15 at the gate. Seniors and active military get a $2 discount on ticket prices, and children 12 and under are admitted free.
Dallas Pride’s host hotel is Hotel Indigo Dallas Downtown, with special Pride Package rates available.
