Pride Winston-Salem

Pride Winston-Salem is the city's annual Pride, run by the volunteer nonprofit Pride Winston-Salem (PrideWS). It takes place on a Saturday in mid-June in the Downtown Arts District: a parade along Fourth Street at 11am and a festival on Trade Street from 10am to 5pm, with vendors, food trucks, a music stage and a drag stage. Entry is free.

Recent editions were on Saturday 14 June 2025 and Saturday 13 June 2026; WFDD reported more than 200 vendors and 21 food trucks in 2026. The 2027 date had not been announced at the time of writing, so check pridews.org. Greensboro Pride, about 30 miles east, is in September.
