About the event

The 20th Anniversary Greensboro Pride Parade & Festival is the signature event of IMPAQT GSO, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Building on the success of 2025, which welcomed more than 85,000 attendees, nearly 300 vendors, and 50+ performances in Downtown Greensboro—the 2026 celebration will be historic, marking both two decades of Pride in Greensboro and the return of a full-scale Pride parade alongside the festival.
