Get ready for more than 135 entertainers across three stages and a weekend packed with joyful inclusivity because Nashville Pride is back again.
The electric weekend will kick off with a high-energy Friday night concert on June 27 at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. Iconic Grammy winners Kim Petras and Estelle will be joined on stage by Empress Of and RuPaul’s Drag Race season two winner Kylie Love. The following morning, the annual parade will take place between Broadway and 8th Ave. at 10 a.m., which is free to attend.
The festival (June 28 and 29) will feature shows by 4 Non Blondes, Big Freedia with Nashville in Harmony, Jake Wesley Rogers, The Knocks & Dragonette with Aquaria, LAYNA, Sinclair, and GAYLE. Expect immaculate drag performances by Adhara Bull, Seymour Chilton, and more than 50 others throughout the weekend.
Nashville Pride wouldn’t be complete without Music City’s favorite food trucks, must-taste cocktails, art installations, family-friendly activities, endless photo opportunities, and much more. In the spirit of community, there will be a marketplace featuring more than 240 vendors bringing handmade goods, apparel, and art as well as community organizations dedicated to supporting LGBTQ+ initiatives and advocacy efforts across Middle Tennessee.
“This year’s festival is a love letter to everyone who continues to fight, dance, organize, and believe,” says Tina Tousignant, President of the Nashville Pride Board of Directors. “At a time of growing division, Nashville Pride sends a clear message: LGBTQ+ people belong here. Pride is a reminder of our roots, our rights, and our refusal to be pushed back into the shadows. Together, we show the world that in Nashville, love will always win.”
Tickets and more details can be found on Nashville Pride’s website. Ages 10 and under do not require a ticket.
