LGBTQ+ Artists

This is the right place to be to register as a vendor for the 2026 Spencer Pride Festival!  In particular, this application is intended for artists who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. Artists who are approved vendors through this application will experience a lower rate than typical for-profit vendors. This is in the spirit of equity for the LGBTQ+ community. Artists approved via this application will be provided with a special sign during the festival designating them as an LGBTQ+ artist.  Individuals not wishing to be identified as an LGBTQ+ artist in this manner should use the standard for-profit application. This is a new offering this year and we are excited to bring it to you!

The event takes place on Saturday, October 3, 2026 from 12 until 7 PM in downtown Spencer on the square of the Owen County Courthouse in downtown Spencer, Indiana.

See 'Terms and Conditions' below.  You will be required to agree to these requirements before proceeding further. Submission of this application presumes that you agree to the terms and conditions below.

• All materials deemed offensive by Spencer Pride Inc. will not be permitted to be sold or displayed. Please keep “adult-oriented material” out of view of minors.
• All Vendors and employees are expected to monitor themselves on all matters of conduct, attire, etc. We are not about censoring, but this is a "family event" and minors will be present.  Please help us keep our reputation as a truly family-friendly event.
• Vendor is responsible for paying all fees, and obtaining all permits required by any federal, state or local governmental entity, including, but not limited to, the Town of Spencer. Spencer Pride Inc. is not responsible for the collection or submission of any such governmental fees.
• Spencer Pride Inc. will maintain event insurance for the overall event, but Spencer Pride Inc. assumes no liability for Vendors or their invitees or licensees within or around Vendor’s allotted area.
• Vendors shall not display, offer for review, or sell any illegal or contraband items. The laws of the State of Indiana and local ordinances of the Town of Spencer shall control. Vendors shall not display, offer for review, or sell any items that are unlicensed and/or copies/interpretations of licensed or registered items at any or all sites and operations of Spencer Pride Inc.
• Vendors are required to unload items for their booth by 11:15 AM, be ready for customers by 11:30 AM, and agree to not clean up until 6:00 PM.

• Vendors must plan to secure their canopy to appropriate weights to prevent movement during wind or other inclement weather.  Failure to secure canopies could result in injury and therefore, this requirement must be adhered to.  Vendors not using a canopy should evaluate and implement whatever measures are necessary to ensure that their booth is secure.
• Any organization that has previously broken terms and conditions of a Spencer Pride Inc. event, or who is a no-show at a Spencer Pride Inc. event without notice, will not be considered for participation at any Spencer Pride Inc. event. If you must withdrawal your participation for any reason, please ensure that you provide notice to Spencer Pride Inc. to avoid issues participating in the future.
• Businesses/Organizations that do not agree with the mission of Spencer Pride will not be considered for participation at any Spencer Pride Inc. event and may be refused participation if the aforementioned disagreement is not discovered until after initial acceptance of the vendor.  No refund will be provided if vendors are refused for this reason.
