Thousands of people filled Atlanta’s streets Sunday for the 2026 Atlanta Pride Parade and Festival, bringing the weekend’s 57th annual celebration to a close after Hurricane Isaias forced organizers to cancel the festival portion of Saturday’s events. Overcast skies did not keep crowds away. Sunday’s festivities included marches, music, drag performances, and food and merchandise vendors celebrating Atlanta’s and the South’s LGBTQ+ community. The parade began near the Civic Center MARTA station, headed north on Peachtree Street and turned onto 10th Street, ending near Piedmont Park’s Charles Allen Gate. Mayor Andre Dickens described Pride as a reflection of Atlanta’s welcoming character. He said the city should be a place where people can express themselves and show love regardless of whom they love. The Sunday gathering capped a weekend disrupted by the storm, which led to the cancellation of Saturday’s festival activities. The parade and remaining events went ahead the following day, drawing thousands of participants and spectators.
