Charleston Pride Festival

Charleston Pride Festival, Inc. is the volunteer-run 501(c)(3) that organises Charleston Pride, the city's flagship LGBTQ+ celebration held each October. From its first event in 2009 and first parade in 2010, the organisation has grown Pride into a multi-day festival drawing thousands, with a downtown parade along King Street and a main festival day in North Charleston. It operates online and through seasonal events rather than a public storefront.
