Pride parade and festival, BBQ at Birdsong

Today is the final day of Pride week. The parade starts in an hour. There's also a food event at Birdsong. Get out and have fun.


Bank of America Charlotte Pride Parade

Don’t miss the festival highlight with all of the usual fun of a gay pride parade, floats, marchers and more. Parade starts at 1 p.m. from 9th and N. Tryon St.


Charlotte Pride Festival
This is what we’ve all been waiting for! National, regional and local entertainers, musicians and bands, and more than 150 vendors, including art exhibitors, area non-profits, political candidates, retailers, food stands and more. Tryon and Stonewall.
