Getting to the Festival

The festival takes place at Raymond Park in Evanston. Raymond Park is a grassy square between Lake, Grove, Hinman, and Chicago Ave. We strongly suggest taking public transportation. Street parking may be difficult to find around the park. There are parking garages located at 1501 Sherman Ave. and 500 Davis St. These garages are not affiliated with the festival and are provided for information only. If you can, plan to arrive in the area a little early and cheer on the Evanston Pride Youth Car parade as it passes by Raymond Park on Chicago Ave. We are also walking distance from one of the official gathering places, in Fountain Square.

When you arrive

Visit the information booth at Lake and Hinman to pick up a schedule and your ticket for free ice cream from the C & W Ice Cream truck! Volunteers at the information booth can also connect you to every thing else the festival has to offer! ASL interpretation will be provided for all mainstage acts and is also available as needed throughout the festival.

Safety and Security at the Festival

The Interfaith Family Pride Festival aims to be a welcoming, safe place for all, but especially LGBTQIA people and youth. Volunteer Marshalls wearing purple vests will be present to assist you with any concerns. A first aid station and mental health volunteers will also be available.

Food and Drink at the Festival

We are so excited to have the C & W Ice Cream Truck on hand! We have a limited number of tickets for free ice cream available to attendees -- be sure to stop by the information booth to get yours! Free popcorn and cotton candy are also available, and the City of Evanston water truck will be on hand. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own water bottle! Raymond Park is conveniently located near the Main-Dempster Mile and Downtown Evanston. We encourage you to check out one of the dozens of nearby eateries before or after the festival!
