Loogootee PrideFest is Back On

By John Szink Aug 27, 2024 | 4:05 PM

The ACLU of Indiana says the Loogootee City Council voted Monday to approve a permit for PrideFest 2024 to take place at the Public Square in downtown Loogootee on September 7th.

The ACLU filed suit in U.S. District Court against the City of Loogootee in June after the City Council passed two new ordinances changing the application process for using city property, rescinded its prior approval of PrideFest 2024, and failed to vote on the new application the sponsors properly submitted.

In a statement, event organizers Timothy and Tracy Brown-Salsman said PrideFest is about equality and acceptance.

ACLU of Indiana Legal Director Ken Falk said pride events are an important way for communities across the state to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.
