The Atlanta Pride Committee is pleased to announce that
the Atlanta Pride Festival will be returning to Piedmont Park in
2012. The Southeast’s largest Pride Festival will be hosted
October 13-14, which coincides with National Coming Out Day.
Atlanta Pride Committee Board Chair, Glen Paul Freedman said,
“We are excited to announce the 2012 Festival dates to allow the
entire community ample planning time for this wonderful event
here in Atlanta.” Freedman continued, “Piedmont Park is such a
beautiful setting, the Atlanta Pride Committee is thrilled to
continue our relationship with this convenient and appealing
locale.”
The Atlanta Pride Festival is currently the largest event in the
United State to coincide with National Coming Out Day, which is
observed on October 11th. Other established community events
that take place around the same timeframe include The Health
Initiative’s Garden Party, Out on Film and the
Atlanta AIDS
Walk.
Leading up to The Atlanta Pride Festival, APC will be organizing
events and activities throughout 2012 to build enthusiasm for
the festival, including special events during the month of June
to commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.
Additionally, the partnership with the Georgia Aquarium, for the
Kickoff Party, will continue as a part of the 2012 Pride
celebrations. A full schedule of programming and parties is
still being developed for Atlanta Pride Week. For updates and
information about events throughout the year, please visit

Applications are now open for parade participants as well as
market vendors. For the past several years, both of these sold
out – so interested parties are strongly encouraged to submit
their application and payments early to ensure their inclusion!
