To celebrate Pride, Indy Gay Market has been invited to launch Vast Car Collaborative’s Spark on the Circle event series. We want to identify the historic meaning behind setting up our grassroots pop-up market in this space especially due to its unique history for the Indianapolis community.

Some history: “In 1984, police harassment and surveillance of same-sex attracted men in Indianapolis spurred hundreds to gather at Monument Circle in a show of solidarity against discrimination. It was the first large public gathering of queer individuals in the state that some dubbed ‘The Gay Knights on the Circle.’”

This year marks the 40th anniversary of this first lgbtq+ fest gathering and we are so proud to hold Indy Gay Market occupy this space.

Event details:
We will be hosting 50 one-of-a-kind vendors each day the first weekend in June.
June 1st, 11:00am-3:00pm
June 2nd, 11:00am-3:00pm

Sonics will be provided by
DJ @iam5laphouse June 1st
DJ @doubledubu_ June 2nd
