Pride in the Park Festival expanded for 2022

More live entertainment, more food, more games and more information booths, in addition to a pool party, highlight the third Dubois County Pride in the Park Festival slated for Friday, June 24.

The free, family-friendly fest is again being held at Jasper’s Jaycee Park and the Jasper City Pool.

Food trucks open at 6 p.m. and the pool party begins at 7 o’clock.

The Troubadours of Divine Bliss will perform from 7 to 8 30. Louisville Turners Circus will roam the park between 7 and 9. And a family-friendly drag show is scheduled for 9 to 10:30.

Based in Louisville, the popular Troubadours of Divine Bliss are a high-energy, award-winning, folk duo featuring beautiful, original music and harmonies, filled with messages of hope and love.

Aerial performers from Louisville’s Turners Circus will add a vibrant, artistic flair to this year’s festival. Providing dynamic programs for youth, Turners has delighted people in the region for 70 years.

During all this, a variety of games are available including volleyball, cornhole and candy cannon. Stations for face painting and balloon animals will also be open as will a variety of information booths.

Those attending should bring lawn chairs or blankets to watch the entertainment.
