Pride season is here, and it's bigger than ever.





There's something for everyone leading up to and during the Indianapolis Pride Festival this year. This is how to do it right.





The Cadillac Barbie Pride Parade









PRO-TIPS:





- Get. There. Early. We're talking 8 AM at the latest, people. You'll be out of luck if you think you're going to be able to find a parking space and a spot to watch the parade if you get there any later.





- Better yet, just don't drive! Lyft and Uber are your best bets for getting to and from the festival and parade, especially if you live out in the 'burbs.













Indy Pride Festival 2019





This is it, folks. This year, Lizzo, DEV and more big names will grace the main stage. Go out and celebrate! Here's the official map:













PRO-TIPS:





- Get your tickets early! Skip the line with the fast pass, or, if you're feeling bougie, get access to a private bar and bathrooms as well as exclusive entrance gates with a VIP Pass.









- Good luck parking. There's very little parking surrounding Military Park, so your best bet is to pay at an IUPUI garage, walk from Mass Ave after the parade, or catch a Lyft. Use the discount code TRINITYHAVEN for a ten percent discount on your ride. $1 from each ride will be donated back to Trinity Haven as well.





- You're gonna want to find a place to escape the heat. If you've got a friend that lives downtown, we highly suggest pregaming with 'em, and later crashing at their place.





- Pride does not allow outside alcohol, travel cups or tobacco inside the festival grounds. Like we said, pre-game!





- You could bring your pet, as they're allowed inside the grounds, but, like, don't.
