Memphis Pride Fest 2025 Tennessee

Info

Memphis Pride Fest takes place from the 7th to 8th June 2025.

For many of us, "coming out of the closet" was anything but a picnic, but in the 1970s that's exactly how the Memphis LGBTQ+ community chose to come out. Pride was celebrated back as early as 1976 with "Gay Day", a picnic in Audubon Park that was covered by a local publication at the time, Gaiety Newspaper. Memphis Pride Fest Powered by Mid-South Pride is the largest LGBTQ+ festival in the Mid-South. The festival and parade open to all ages, and we had over 58,000 people attend last year. Come and join our community as we celebrate love, unity, and pride. This year will be the 50th anniversary.
