Charlotte Pride Festival

When: Sat., Aug. 20 and Sun., Aug. 21 2016

Making its debut in 2001 at Marshall Park, Charlotte Pride continues in Uptown along Tryon Street. The LGBTQ celebrations includes a colorful parade and festival with all sorts of fun entertainers — drag queens, musicians and bands and more. This year there’s even more reason to go out and show your pride, instead of letting HB2 dampen your spirits.
