ATLANTA (OCTOBER 10, 2026) — Atlanta Pride has announced an updated entertainment schedule for Sunday, October 11, after canceling Saturday’s festival programming due to severe weather. Sunday’s festivities are expected to proceed as planned, with an adjusted lineup bringing a full day of performances, community celebrations, and entertainment to Piedmont Park.
Please be aware: The Atlanta Pride Parade (steps off at 12 PM) and Marketplace (10 AM – 7 PM) will both go ahead tomorrow as planned.
The updated schedule reflects changes to preserve many of the performances and experiences that make Atlanta Pride one of the nation’s largest Pride celebrations. Sunday’s entertainment will feature headliner JT, the beloved Starlight Cabaret (with special guest Shea Couleé), Cain Culto, Zee Machine, and an expanded lineup of local and regional performers across the festival’s two stages.
“While we are disappointed that weather conditions have impacted our Saturday programming, the safety of our attendees, performers, volunteers, and community remains our highest priority,” said Chris McCain, Executive Director of Atlanta Pride. “Atlanta Pride has always been about resilience, community and celebration. We’re looking forward to bringing everyone together on Sunday for an incredible day that embodies this year’s theme, ‘Louder & Prouder.’ We are grateful to our artists, partners, and community for their flexibility and support as we make these adjustments.”
The Coca-Cola Main Stage will begin Sunday’s programming at noon with an Atlanta News First livestream of the Atlanta Pride Parade, followed by an afternoon and evening of performances. Highlights include:
