Join MY Pride for PrideFest 2026: Pride in Every Holler, a joyful, in-person celebration of LGBTQIA+ community, creativity, and belonging in the mountains of Western North Carolina.
Spend the day surrounded by music, art, movement, local makers, supportive organizations and chosen family — a space to show up fully as yourself and connect with others who are proud to do the same. Whether you’re coming to dance, create, volunteer, be a vendor, or simply be, this is your place. Come as you are, bring your whole self, and celebrate the pride that lives in every holler.
