Expectations for Attendees

The TriPride Festival is designed to be good for all ages and a happy, fun environment. We are here to celebrate our LGBTQ+ community and our allies and not to make them feel bad about who they are. We understand, however, that passionate topics, summer heat, and yes, maybe a little alcohol, can make tempers flare. If that is the case and TriPride organizers and/or security partners cannot get both parties to walk away and enjoy the day, we will escort one or both parties from the event. Please make sure the people in your contingency group conduct themselves accordingly.

Underwear or swimwear alone on the lower half of the body for this event is inadequate. Please wear shorts, skirts or similar attire as a minimum requirement. Additionally, we are having our event in a city park, so the same clothing rules apply as every day. Basically, cover up your bits and all will be well. 🙂

Animals, except for service animals, are not permitted inside the Festival grounds.

Please do not engage with protestors. This event isn’t for them. It’s for you! So have fun with friends and family.
If you are causing a disruption or present a security concern, TriPride organizers will ask you to leave and escort you out.

Most importantly: HAVE FUN! A lot of time and effort has gone into putting this event together for our community. We want you to have a wonderful, safe time!
