Nashville Pride 2026

Nashville Pride is one of the American South's fastest-growing LGBTQ+ celebrations, held each June in the Tennessee capital. The two-day festival at Public Square Park features multiple concert stages with major musical acts, drawing on Nashville's unrivaled music industry connections to produce one of the most music-focused pride events in the country.

The parade through downtown Nashville draws tens of thousands to the streets of a city that has undergone dramatic transformation. Nashville Pride's growth reflects both the expansion of the city's LGBTQ+ community and a broader cultural shift in a state that has simultaneously seen increasing legislative attacks on LGBTQ+ rights.
