2024 marks the 12th anniversary of the Upper Cumberland Pride organization! Join us on Saturday, June 8th, for a day of festivities!All UPPER CUMBERLAND PRIDE WEEKEND events are for ALL ages. Bring your family and invite your friends!
Please note that ALL ATTENDEES at Upper Cumberland Pride events must abide by our Code of Conduct [https://ucpride.org/festival/code-of-conduct/].
Held annually, typically in June, the Upper Cumberland Pride Festival celebrates the diversity found in our beautiful region of Tennessee. Pride month is celebrated each year to honor the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City. The Stonewall riots were a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the United States. In the United States, the last Sunday in June was initially celebrated as “Gay Pride Day,” but the actual day was flexible. In major cities across the nation, the “day” soon grew to encompass a month-long series of events.
Today, celebrations include pride parades, picnics, parties, workshops, symposia, concerts, and LGBTQIA+ Pride Month events that attract millions of participants worldwide. Memorials are held during this month for those members of the community who have been lost to hate crimes or HIV/AIDS. The commemorative month’s purpose is to recognize the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally.
