PrideFest Mainstage Entertainment Application (not parade)

This is not a parade application!!

Rhode Island Pride is now accepting applications for entertainers interested in performing at this year’s PrideFest and Illuminated Night Parade! We are seeking dynamic performers who reflect the vibrancy, diversity, and talent of our LGBTQIA+ community and allies. From musicians and DJs to drag performers, dancers, cultural groups, and spoken word artists, we welcome a wide range of acts that will help us create an unforgettable celebration.

The Entertainment Application will close on April 1. Our goal is to review all submissions carefully and finalize selections by the end of April. Due to the high volume of interest, not all applicants may be selected, but we deeply appreciate every artist who wants to be part of this milestone celebration.

If you’re ready to bring your energy, creativity, and Pride to the stage, we encourage you to apply before the deadline!

Submission of an Entertainment Application to Rhode Island Pride does not guarantee selection, booking, or performance placement at PrideFest, the Illuminated Night Parade, or any affiliated event. All applications will be reviewed through a competitive selection process based on programming needs, event logistics, stage capacity, budget, and alignment with the overall vision of the event.

Rhode Island Pride reserves the right to accept or decline any application at its sole discretion. Only applicants who are formally selected and receive written confirmation from Rhode Island Pride will be considered officially booked.

We sincerely appreciate every artist and performer who takes the time to apply and share their talent with our community.
