Some vendors are set up to take credit cards, and some aren’t. PrideFest will take credit cards for merchandise purchases, and Rose accepts cards at the bar. It’s a good idea to bring cash just in case. You never know what you can’t resist to take home with you.

No. Supporters and allies of our community are crucial and always welcome.

Yes! ADA parking has been donated to us. You can access it by entering Park Ave. via Rogers. The parking is in a small lot usually used for their deliveries. This parking does require a handicap permit.

While we love pets, PrideFest is not a good place to bring them. Please leave them in their cozy beds and air conditioning at home. It is often quite hot at Pride! Service pets are welcome.

will there be a rain date?

PrideFest will go on rain or shine, unless the rain is more like a scene out of The Wizard of Oz. Being September in Missouri, the weather will definitely be a gamble, but hopefully cooler than in previous years!

Do you have a good hotel recommendation?

Yes! Check out The Broadway or The Tiger Hotel. Both hotels have supported us and donated to PrideFest. We love to give them business!

IS THERE AN ATM?

There are various ATM’s located around the downtown area, but there will not be one at the festival itself.
