US EditionIndianapolis cancels Juneteenth Parade
- Indy Juneteenth canceled the 2025 Juneteenth Parade after failing to secure a parade route with the City of Indianapolis.
- The cancellation followed months of permit delays, scheduling conflicts, and an already booked route originally requested in August 2024.
- Facing limited options and too little time to organize, Indy Juneteenth chose to focus on a full calendar of events culminating in a festival on June 21 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
- The festival will run from noon to 7 p.m. And feature live performances, awards, over 30 food vendors, 100+ small businesses, and community activities including a wellness circle and sip & paint.
- Executive Director James Webb expressed disappointment but said, "Even though the parade isn't happening this year, I'm incredibly excited for what's ahead" and confirmed plans for a 2026 parade at the fairgrounds.
