NASHVILLE PRIDE 2026 GUIDE

Pride Month has a way of reminding us that the best parts of Nashville aren't the buildings or the headlines, it's the people who create community here. The artists, advocates, performers, business owners, organizers, and everyday folks who continue to make this city more welcoming, expressive, and connected.

Whether you're looking for a parade, a dance floor, a drag brunch, a family-friendly gathering, or simply a way to support local LGBTQIA+ organizations and businesses, there's no shortage of ways to celebrate this month. Here's our guide to Pride in Nashville.

UPCOMING PRIDE EVENTS

Your Morning Coffee Has Some Explaining to Do.

Jitters, dehydration, and a 3 PM crash that sends you back for cup number three. Drink ZYN would like to offer an alternative: one scoop of turmeric electrolyte mix with up to 15 turmeric roots, 100% daily value of Vitamins C, D, and Zinc, and zero energy debt to pay back later. Made by a certified B Corp in fruit flavors that are, objectively, more interesting than black coffee. Your mug will understand.*

LOCALS ONLY

• After 25 years, Margot Café has served its final meal. At the restaurant's farewell celebration, Margot McCormack reflected on the community and how they collectively "made it to the mountaintop." It may be closing its doors, but the impact Margot leaves behind isn't going anywhere.

• Nashville Pride doesn't happen by magic, it happens because hundreds of volunteers show up. If you've been looking for a way to support the LGBTQIA+ community beyond attending the festivities, Pride is currently recruiting volunteers for this year's events. Make some new friends, give back, and help out!
