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!
