It is recommended that people in the parade bring sunscreen, a hat, water, etc. • We also discourage people from bringing pets to the parade. If participants do, Indy Pride is in no way liable/responsible. Please instead recommend that participants consider bringing their furry friends to Pet Pride on Saturday, June 2nd . • As a reminder, if your group is giving out items to spectators, we ask they hand out any items instead of throwing them. Also, groups are prohibited from handing out stickers. Volunteers/Parade Staff We are very fortunate to have many volunteers working to make this year's parade a success. Some are part of the (unpaid) parade staff that have worked tirelessly over the last year on planning while others volunteer the morning of the parade to aid in monitoring and marshalling. Please treat any volunteers you encounter with respect or better yet thank them for giving up part of their day to help with the event! If you need help, all volunteers will be wearing volunteer shirts to make it easier for them to be located.

Furthermore, if you or members of your group plan to attend the Pride Festival following the parade, you can conveniently purchase tickets in advance on the website to save time. In closing, please forward this email along to your members as necessary and appropriate to ensure they are also informed. Once again, we thank you for your participation, and we look forward to seeing you on Saturday, June 9th! Sincerely, Megan Klopchin 2018 Parade Coordinator parade@indypride.org
