About This Event

Atlanta Pride is the American South's biggest LGBTQ+ celebration. Each October, it takes over Piedmont Park and Midtown, drawing more than 300,000 people. This city's been the economic and cultural center of the American South for decades, and it's home to one of the most visible Black LGBTQ+ communities in the US.

Sunday's parade through Midtown pulls hundreds of thousands down Peachtree Street and into Piedmont Park. The festival runs there for two days, with several stages and community events. Atlanta in October means warm weather, not summer-hot, with good fall light. That makes the outdoor festival pretty comfortable.

Parade Route

Route
Steps off at Civic Center MARTA, heads south down Peachtree Street through Midtown, turns onto 10th Street and ends at Charles Allen entrance to Piedmont Park
Nearby transit
Civic Center, Midtown, Arts Center — all on MARTA Red/Gold Line

Practical Tips

Take MARTA to Midtown or Arts Center - parking around Piedmont Park is nearly impossible on parade day.

Stake out a parade spot along Peachtree Street by 11am for the noon step-off.

The main stage at Piedmont Park hosts headliners in the late afternoon and evening.
