Entertainment
Each year, the Atlanta Pride Festival brings Piedmont Park to life with a weekend full of music, drag, dance, and community celebration. From nationally recognized headliners to incredible local performers, entertainment is a core part of the Pride experience and helps showcase the creativity and diversity of our community.
Main Stage (Coca-Cola Stage)
Located in the Meadow of Piedmont Park, our Main Stage is where you’ll find the festival’s biggest performances. Each year, we welcome nationally recognized headliners along with a mix of artists and performers who help make Pride weekend unforgettable. Our headlining artists are typically announced each year ahead of the festival, so keep an eye out for those announcements as we get closer to October. And, our festival ends with our Starlight Cabaret, the largest outdoor drag show in the country!
Community Stage
Near the 12th Street Park entrance, our Community Stage highlights the incredible talent we have right here at home. This stage features local performers, community groups, drag artists, dancers, musicians, and emerging talent from across the region. It’s one of our favorite ways to showcase the creativity and diversity of Atlanta’s LGBTQ+ community.
Premium Pass Experience
Want to make your Pride weekend a little extra special? Our Premium Passes offer a unique way to experience the festival, including exclusive meet-and-greet opportunities with that year’s featured artists. It’s a fun way to get a little closer to the performers who help make Pride so memorable.
Premium Pass sales usually begin in early June, so keep an eye out and grab yours before they sell out.
