Atlanta Pride returns ‘louder and prouder’
Hey party people — ready to bust out your boas and glitter boots? It’s Atlanta Pride time! This weekend, with a theme of “louder and prouder,” will be filled with events in and around Piedmont Park and beyond, culminating in the annual Pride parade that runs through the heart of Midtown Sunday.
🏳️🌈 Check out some background on Pride and a list of events here, and read on for more ways to dig into some fun this weekend:
🎵 Listen to live music in a casual setting at Saturday’s Oakhurst Porchfest, featuring more than 200 bands playing on the porches of houses throughout the neighborhood.
