Exclusive | Events | Entertainment News

Get ready, Gayes! Atlanta Black Pride 2025 is almost here. From August 27- September 1, attendees can expect a dynamic lineup at one of the largest Black Pride celebrations on the planet.

Founded in 1996, Atlanta Black Pride grew out of the grassroots gatherings of the 80s and 90s and has since evolved into the cultural force it is today. Atlanta Black Pride offered more than just parties, it introduced health workshops, panel discussions, arts performances, and a community march. Amidst the mostly white Pride celebrations that were happening throughout the city, Atlanta Black Pride carved out a space for Black, gay communities to celebrate Black queer life and culture. 

Today, Atlanta Black Pride remains as one of the premier Black Pride events in the world. This year is definitely not one to miss featuring performances by Ken the Man, KWN, Saucy Santana, Stasha Sanchez, Suki, Terrell Carter, & YK Niece. Events will also be hosted by Derek J, Diamond the Body, Ivori, and Teseki!
