Safety is the highest priority for Pride in the Plaza organizers, and we recognize that we’re in an environment of heightened risk of threats and counterprotest. We are working on a multi faceted safety plan for Pride in the Plaza. This plan will involve collaborating directly with the Montgomery County Police Department and community safety response teams. All volunteers will attend a safety training, which vendors will also be invited to attend. We will be creating a written plan that will be presented in advance of the event. In addition to security we will also be providing first aid support.

Click here to apply for a table at Pride in the Plaza 2024. Because we have limited space, priority goes to LGBTQIA+ led and owned businesses and organizations, as well as local organizations that directly service the LGBTQIA+ community. Rates run from $125-$500, depending on your type of organization, table space, and amenities. If your application is approved, you will get your own 6’ table underneath a shared 10’ x 20’ tent. Tabling runs from 12-5pm on Sunday, June 30th at Veterans Plaza in downtown Silver Spring.

When you are approved for a table, you’ll get regular communication from us about load-in, parking, safety, accommodations, volunteer support and other event preparations.

We have a limited number of free or reduced fee spaces available for approved organizations. Please fill out the same application, and briefly answer the relevant questions. If you need support or accommodations, can’t budget for tabling fees, need a payment plan or have any tabling questions/concerns whatsoever, email Blake@LiveInYourTruth.org. We’ll do everything in our power to make sure this event centers LGBTQ+ orgs, artists and vendors.

There are a limited number of spaces available for 10x10 tents. If you would like to bring your own tent, please indicate that on the tabling application.

Great! Most vendors will begin load out at 5pm when the Mini-Ball begins based on feedback from previous years, but there are a number of spaces available until 8pm. Please indicate on your application if you would like to table the whole time.
