atlanta pride parade
The Atlanta Pride Parade is an annual celebration that takes place in October (specifically landing on national Coming Out Day). Since 1970, the parade has been shaking up Atlanta. It has been held in different locations due to many different reasons, but has always had a common goal.
The APC (Atlanta Pride Committee) serves to promote unity, visibility, and self-esteem among the LGBT community. And that’s exactly what they have been doing. Attracting thousands each year from around the country, the Atlanta Pride Parade is among the biggest in the country. Each year they raise thousands of dollars in support of their community. Each year the economic intake has risen significantly, and thus has bettered the LGBT community.
One does not have to be part of the community to attend the parade- you can be a supporter, a bystander, or simply have an interest in seeing what it’s all about. The parade is 2 days of fun, partying, and celebrating diversity.
The parade features acts by singers, dancers, and other performers. Additionally, there are motivational speeches by many respected speakers, whether part of the community or just supporting it.
In addition to the parade, the committee holds other events throughout the year. These events, such as dance classes, meals, bike rides, and group meetings help build up excitement for the parade, as well as revenue. It keeps people in the cheery spirit from one October to the next.
