Savannah Pride Center is hosting the ninth annual Stonewall at Starland Yard on June 27. Held in honor of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, the event is one of Savannah’s largest and most beloved Pride Month celebrations, attracting more than 2,000 community members, allies, local businesses, artists, and performers for a day of connection, visibility, and celebration.
“Stonewall is more than a celebration—it’s a reminder of where our movement began and the communities who paved the way,” Michael Bell, Executive Director of Savannah Pride Center, said in a statement. “At a time when LGBTQIA+ people continue to face challenges across the country, gathering in joy, visibility, and community remains a powerful act. We invite everyone to join us as we honor our history and celebrate the future we’re building together.”
