Memphis Pride Fest is the single largest gathering for the LGBTQ+ community and our allies in the Mid-South. While the Festival and Pride Parade are the cornerstones of Memphis Pride Fest, the entire celebration (known as Memphis Pride Fest Weekend) spans 4 days beginning with Drag N Drive, a dance party on Friday Night, the signature festival and parade on Saturday, and winding down with a Drag Brunch on Sunday. Memphis Pride Fest is held the first weekend of June. Dates are announced early in the year. Promotions and details typically begin rolling out about 60 days prior to the event.
