Blue Ridge Pride, Inc. is seeking your support for our 2nd Annual Blue Ridge Pride, celebrating the diversity of our community in Western North Carolina. This event will encompass multiple events throughout the first week of October and culminate with an open festival at Martin Luther King, Jr. Park in Asheville, NC. In addition to live entertainment throughout the day, there will be vendor as well as educational booths. Total attendance for the events leading up to and including the festival is anticipated to be greater than 4,000 people. For more information, please check out our sponsorship brochures(doc or pdf).
