Frequently asked questions
While we encourage a donation to help keep the festival free, there is no entry fee required either day of the festival! Donations can be made at the gates or online.
Service Animals are enthusiastically welcome! All others should be left at home. Because festivals are stressful on all bodies (humans and dogs), we encourage you to make healthy choices for both you and your Service Animal. Let’s keep you and your animal partner safe by having a bowl for their water and please give them as many breaks as they need from the heat and the crowds. To make the festival fully accessible to everyone, green space may be at a minimum, which means the ground will be hot. We ask that you please keep an eye on their paws.
So glad you asked!! VolunQueering is a great way to meet cool new people! Please go to this sign-up sheet to volunteer for set up and/or take down (June 27th & June 30th). And go this sign-up sheet to volunteer for festival days (June 28th & 29th). We have volunqueer work at the festival for people of all abilities. If you have any questions, please reach out to volunqueers@slc-pride.org.
We have partnered with several of the business at the Gateway to provide air conditioned space to get out of the heat! We will provide water at several different stations and misters to encourage the body’s own cooling mechanisms. However, we know this won’t always be enough. If your body can’t take the heat, please find your way inside and allow yourself a little recovery time.
Your security is our highest priority! We will do all in our power to ensure you can celebrate queer joy safely and without worry! What you can expect: 1) We have hired Kane Security to implement security measures throughout the festival grounds
2) There will be bag checks at the gates, no weapons of any kind will be allowed at the festival 3) The VolunQueer staff have received training and have a clear understanding of security and emergency protocols 4) Vigilant VolunQueers throughout the festival
5) Our continued commitment to put our community first in all things
