Pride events happening in Kentuckiana

The 2022 Southern Indiana Pride Parade & Festival is Saturday, June 4. The festival is from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Big Four Station.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Two festivals and parades are scheduled for Pride month in Kentuckiana.

While Pride Month is celebrated with festivals and parades, it didn't start out that way.

In June 1969, New York police raided the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, claiming the popular gar bar had violated liquor laws. Those at the bar started protesting and rioting.

Later in 1970, the first Pride march happened on the one year anniversary of the riot.
