Atlanta Pride returns in 2025 as the largest FREE pride festival in the United States.
The Pride Festival takes place at Piedmont Park in midtown Atlanta over Saturday, October 11th and Sunday, October 12th, 2025.
It is FREE to attend and everyone is welcome.
Atlanta Pride used to be held during National Pride Month in June. In 2008, our local organizers moved it to October when the weather is milder, which also aligns it with National Coming Out Day.
The festival features an artist marketplace with over 200 booths, plus food trucks and live entertainment.
The Atlanta Pride Parade takes place on Sunday, October 12th, when it will step off at noon. This is the biggest event of the Festival.
The parade steps off from the Atlanta Civic Center MARTA Station at noon on Sunday and continues north on Peachtree Street, then turns right onto 10th Street and ends a block from the Charles Allen Gate to Piedmont Park.
The best viewing spots will be along Peachtree Street, which is closed to traffic for the parade.
The 2025 Pride Marketplace will feature 250 vendors.
