Augusta Pride 2026: Dates, Parade, Events

Augusta Pride returns to the Augusta Common on the 26th and 27th of June 2026, with a weekend of free and ticketed events celebrating the LGBTQ+ community in Georgia's second-largest city.

Pride Week kicks off on the 23rd with Pride Night Out, followed by the President's Soiree on the 25th for sponsors and honorees.

Friday the 26th brings Beats on Broad, Augusta's largest outdoor dance party, a ticketed event serving as the prelude to the main weekend. The free  Augusta Pride Festival takes place on Saturday, the 27th, at the Augusta Common, with speakers, entertainers, live music and vendors throughout the day.

Worth noting for 2026: the Pride Parade has been canceled this year due to downtown construction, but the festival site at the Augusta Common and poolside after-parties at Metropolis Complex on Sunday, the 28th, more than fill the gap.
