Whether you're looking to learn a new skill, dance the night away, or witness the crowning of the new Mx. Peach Pit, Southern Fried Queer Pride offers something for everyone.
The seven-day celebration runs through June 28 at venues throughout Little Five Points, from parties at the music venue Aisle 5 to performances at 7 Stages Theatre.
Southern Fried Queer Pride has become one of Atlanta's signature LGBTQ+ events, distinguished by its emphasis on Southern identity and community. The festival attracts participants from across the region.
This year's programming includes workshops, performances, and social events designed to celebrate queer culture in the South. The eclectic L5P neighborhood provides a fitting backdrop for the festivities.
Atlanta Pride organizers also announced the 2026 festival theme this week: "Louder and Prouder." The main Pride Festival and Parade will take place October 11-12.
