Blue Ridge Pride is a weekend event featuring a day long outdoor festival including mainstage music and entertainers, community talents, educational workshops, regional vendors, and participation from state-wide and local LGBTQ and non-profit organizations.

Blue Ridge Pride, in collaboration with local supporters and night clubs, will bring varied entertainment from dances and receptions to local title pageants throughout the weekend.

In effort to support area business, commerce and the environment, Blue Ridge Pride will encourage local restaurants and businesses to be the main source of vending; offering the immediate community and visitors the opportunity to explore the tastes, crafts, and merchandise that Asheville and the surrounding areas have to offer. All food and beverage vendors will be educated and contracted to use compostable and recyclable dinnerware and cups in order to decrease environmental impact.

Blue Ridge Pride strives to be inclusive of all LGBTQ populations, families, and friends; and in effort of this, create an exciting day that will educate, support awareness, and entertain the overall community at large.
