Any banners to be hung should be draped from your table and affixed with spring clips – or banners or other backdrops may be displayed on easels or banner stands where space is available. Those requesting tables should plan to display material only on their tabletop or table front. (For more space, request a booth.) No outside food and beverages are allowed.

When can I setup my table/booth?
We will have everything ready for you to set up by 9:00 AM You are welcome to arrive any time after that to set up and we can arrange a slightly earlier setup time for you, if needed. We do request that you have everything in place before 11:00 a.m. so you are ready to greet guests when the event officially begins at 12:00 PM (The doors open to the public at 11:30 a.m.) *if you are not set up by 11 AM, PRIDE will assume that you have forfeited your area and has the right to use the space as they see fit.
What are the Security Procedures of the River Center?
Please plan to arrive as early as possible as the Raising Cane’s River Center has strict security procedures for packages entering the facility. This means every item that enters the River Center must be inspected; every box, bag, suitcase or any other container you bring in will have to be checked, please plan accordingly. With more than 75 resource fair participants to check in, it will take some time. We apologize for any inconvenience for this procedure, but it is for your safety and the safety of all BR Pride participants.
Where can I park to unload the day of Pride Fest?
You will be allowed to pull into the unloading area near the box office (or the loading dock, if you arrange ahead of time) for
unloading only. You will not be allowed to park in that area for any length of time. Parking is available on nearby streets or in the River Center parking garages. Please note that the City-Parish government – not BR Pride – will be charging event parking rates for the River Center garages. https://arena.raisingcanesrivercenter.com/venue-info/parking/

What comes with the table or booth?
All tables will be covered with plastic table covers, but you are welcome to bring your own and replace that one. Please visit https://www.eventeny.com/events/batonrougepride2025-14559/ for the break down of each area.
What can I attach to the table or booth?
For those of you who paid for electrical service, the River Center will provide a live hookup for you, but you will need to supply your own extension cords and plug bars. For others, keep in mind that if you did not request electrical service in advance and make the payment charged by the River Center, you will not have access.
Can I bring or sell in any food or beverages?
No Food or Beverages may be sold without written permission from the Pride Director.
How about fun things like Glitter and Confetti?
Sorry, but No Glitter or Confetti may be used. As subject to our contact with SMG any use of glitter and confetti is banned within the River Center. Anyone using or distributing these items at their table or booth may be asked to leave.
How long do I have to stay?
The Resource Fair runs from 11:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m, Pride Fest itself ends at 7:00 with our biggest fan fair yet! We do ask that you stay at your booth or table till 5:00 p.m.
After 5:00 p.m. we invite you and you're team to take part in our entertainment at the Rainbow Stage. You won't be rushed out at 7:00 pm, we know it takes time to pack up your items.

How much can I bring in?
Except for those of you with booths, everything you bring must fit on the top of the table within your assigned area. (We must keep aisles clear to satisfy fire marshal regulations, so this rule must be strictly enforced. Nothing maybe placed, behind, on sides or in front of table. Items placed on table must be no more than 2 ft high, so not to block the view of others around you. Keep in mind, if the fire marshal finds a violation, they could ask you to remove the item or to simply leave. We have no control over that.
Can I call and speak with someone?
Of Course! We are always available via email at [email protected] to setup a time to speak.
