Cadillac Barbie Pride Parade Presented by Delta Faucet Company #SaveTheDate

From the event description:

Indy's first Pride Parade featured one float, an antique truck, a few drag queens, some antique cars and a handful of walking groups. Back then, the parade barely lasted 15 minutes. Since then, it has grown to include well over 140 floats, vehicles and walking groups, lasting nearly two hours. It has become one of the largest parades in Indianapolis and a testament to the hard work of the community to ensure our equality and celebrate Pride. This event is free to attend.
