Atlanta Pride is excited to announce Louder & Prouder as the official theme for the 2026 Atlanta Pride Festival, taking place October 10–11, 2026.
More than a theme, Louder & Prouder is a celebration of visibility, authenticity, and the power of community. It reflects the strength, resilience, and joy of LGBTQ+ people across Atlanta and beyond while serving as a call to show up boldly, support one another, and continue advocating for a more inclusive future.
Throughout the year, this theme will inspire Atlanta Pride’s programs, events, storytelling, and community engagement efforts leading up to Festival Weekend. The 2026 visual identity was created in partnership with Atlanta-based designer and creative strategist Katie Costa, whose work captures the vibrant energy and creativity that define our community.
As we prepare to welcome hundreds of thousands of attendees this October, we invite everyone to join us in celebrating what makes our community strong: our voices, our stories, and our shared commitment to living authentically.
Stay tuned for additional announcements about entertainment, Grand Marshals, volunteer opportunities, and festival programming in the months ahead.
