Details
Since Atlanta’s first Pride Parade in 1970 on the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, Atlanta’s Parade—and subsequently, its Festival—has galvanized the LGBTQIA+ community in Georgia and across the South to show up for each other and to show out with acts of protest, activism, education, and celebration. Fifty-three years later, the Atlanta Pride Committee remains committed to this vision and encourages our neighbors to SHOW UP AND SHOW OUT for the fullest spectrum of the region’s LGBTQIA+ community at this year’s Atlanta Pride Festival on October 14-15, 2023 in Piedmont Park.
In this time of increased political turmoil, violent attacks on the transgender community, especially our trans siblings of color, efforts to silence transgender and gender-expansive youth, and unprecedented threats and legislation aimed at drag performers and queer safe spaces, we call on Georgia's LGBTQIA+ community to SHOW UP AND SHOW OUT like never before!
