About the event

DUE TO THE INCREASED COVID-19 OUTBREAK IN GEORGIA, THE ATLANTA PRIDE FESTIVAL HAS, UNFORTUNATELY, BEEN CANCELLED. The Atlanta Pride Celebration is the largest gatherings of LGBTQ+ people and our allies in the Southeast. The event features a two day Festival with music, merchandise, art and food along with a Parade and a week's worth of educational and social events. The 2021 event will be held in person if CDC guidelines and local ordinances allow. If they do not allow, the event will be held virtually.
