PRIDE SEASON
2024 General

The 2024 Charlotte Pride Festival & Parade is Saturday, Aug. 17 – Sunday, Aug. 18, 2024. Charlotte Pride Week, which includes a variety of celebratory Pride events all around the city, hosted by local businesses and organizations, runs Friday, Aug. 9 – Friday, Aug. 16.

The Charlotte Pride Festival & Parade occurs in Uptown Charlotte. As we get closer to the event dates, we’ll release more detailed event maps and locations.

The Charlotte Pride Festival & Parade Weekend makes its return to Uptown Charlotte for another year. We’re expecting a significant increase in event attendance and we’ll need more weekend volunteers than ever before! Click THIS LINK to sign up.

There are no admission or ticket costs to attend the festival and parade. Some portions of the event, like the VIP Experience, or related events/fundraisers may have ticketed entry. There are costs associated with registering a parade entry or festival exhibit space.

You can find our host hotel information HERE and HERE.

All parade and vendor applications are open for our 2024 event. Visit our homepage for more information.

We strive to make all of our events accessible to everyone regardless of ability. At the festival and parade, ASL interpreters will be on-site for all events with performers, all areas will be wheelchair/mobility friendly, and we will work to ensure additional accessibilities. In 2023, we partnered with Friendly Like Me to provide a detailed accessibility guide for the festival and parade.

The Charlotte Pride Festival and Parade Weekend is hosted in Uptown, which has a variety of parking and transit options throughout. You can click here for more info on Uptown parking and here for information on Charlotte’s public transit options.

We discourage bringing your furry friends to Charlotte Pride events as our events are outdoors in the heat. Service animals are always welcome. Charlotte Pride is not liable for the health and safety of any service animals at the festival.
