One of the Southeast’s most joyful celebrations is back! The Atlanta Pride Festival 2026 takes place October 10–11 under the theme “Louder & Prouder,” announced by organizers with a bold new visual identity created with Atlanta-based designer and creative strategist Katie Costa.
Organizers expect hundreds of thousands of attendees across the two days, which will feature live entertainment, a community marketplace, and the beloved parades and marches that fill the city with color and music.
Highlights announced for 2026 include the full entertainment lineup and Congressman Dr. Everton Blair Jr. as the 2026 Honorary Grand Marshal. The festival is produced by the Atlanta Pride Committee, Inc., Georgia’s oldest nonprofit organization serving the LGBTQ+ community across metro Atlanta and the South.
Whether it is your first Pride or your fiftieth, this October is the perfect moment to celebrate community, love, and self-expression in Atlanta. Mark your calendar — Louder & Prouder awaits!
