Tri-State Black Pride 2026: dates, events, information

Tri-State Black Pride returns to Memphis from June 18 to 21, 2026, bringing four days of celebration, education and empowerment to the Mid-South.

The weekend opens on Thursday with an opening ceremony, followed by a full day of educational sessions, workshops and author chats on Friday, alongside a Business Expo at the Renasant Convention Center.

Saturday brings the signature Drag & Brunch, which regularly sells out, along with further workshops and community events across the day.

Organised by The Cathedral Foundation, the event is one of the most significant Black LGBTQ+ Pride celebrations in the US, drawing attendees from across Tennessee and beyond.

A four-day festival that balances entertainment with genuine community impact.
