A Night OUT is BACK!

Friday, June 13th, 6:00 – 10:00 p.m.

This is a night where local vendors and organizations show their support and PRIDE for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community by participating in a “reverse pride parade” with table vendors at the Denton Civic Center and storefronts located in and around the Downtown Square acting as “floats” so participants come to YOU. Similar to a crawl, attendees will bounce between floats to engage with you, pick up some swag, take pictures, and build relationships with vendors that support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

Our vision is to see vendor tables and storefronts covered with pride flags and rainbows; to have our community visible and OUT in Denton.

We have reached vendor table capacity at the Denton Civic Center. This form is for storefronts only.

Application Fee

PRIDENTON is a 501(c)(3). All vendor funds go directly to PRIDENTON 2025 and future celebrations. Our Executive Board Members work on an unpaid, volunteer basis. Our team aims to be as inclusive as possible for this event, with the understanding that this is a fundraiser and the vendor fee we collect accounts for a significant portion of the funds we raise.

Because we understand that a $125 fee may be prohibitive to some vendors, we are offering a pay-what-you-can model and ask that you make a payment within your means. If you would prefer a payment plan, please contact us at nightout@pridenton.org.

We are also offering a "pay-it-forward” opportunity so vendors with means can subsidize Reduced Fee, Hardship, and waived registrations. Please note that this is separate from the Riot and Resist sponsorship tier.

Tiers:

  • Regular: $125

  • Reduced 50%: $62.50

  • Hardship: $35

  • Pay-It-Forward: $250

Tier selection is available at checkout.
