Global Black Pride, a global event dedicated to Black LGBTQ+ communities, has chosen Atlanta as the host city for 2024.
This will be the first time Global Black Pride has been held in the United States and is set for Aug. 26 to Sept. 2 at locations around the city, including Piedmont Park.
The event will include the Black Pride Parade, Human Rights Conference, Black Trans Rally, a film festival, theatre, workshops, dance parties, and performances.
“Atlanta proudly stands as the LGBTQ capital of the south and a champion for human rights, not only in our region but on a global scale,” said Malik Brown, the City’s Director of LGBTQ Affairs. “We are honored to welcome the first-ever Global Black Pride gathering in the United States to the vibrant City of Atlanta.”
