2025–2026 Florida & The South LGBTQIA+ Pride Calendar - Pride Festivals in Atlanta, St. Pete, Nashville, New Orleans, Miami, and more
With some of the largest and most dynamic LGBTQIA+ communities in the country, Florida and the states that make up the South—Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky—are also home to many of the largest LGBTQIA+ Pride festivals in the country. And even going beyond some of these destinations with famous Pride events, a number of smaller Southern communities hold well-attended, fun, and spirited Pride events, from Charlottesville to Athens to Lexington. Events in this part of the world begin around February and continue throughout the year until October or November.
