Charlotte Welcomes Largest Festival In The Southeast With Pride Week
Charlotte is about to host one of the largest and most vibrant festivals in the Southeast. Charlotte Pride Festival and Parade get underway August 16 and 17 in uptown Charlotte. It is celebrating 25 years!! With some 240,000 expected in the city. Organizers tout this is ‘more than just a festival.’ Charlotte Pride serves the community, so it’s a weekend of celebration, inclusion and empowerment. During today’s interview, you’ll learn that Charlotte Pride is much more than a weekend event – it’s not just drag, parties and dancing, but there is partying with purpose.
It’s diversity, inclusion, economic impact and community to name a few. While the mission of Charlotte Pride is to enrich, empower and strengthen the lives of LGBTQ people, it doesn’t come without it’s challenges. We’ll delve into some of those, too and how they continue to combat those.
