Charlotte is about to host one of the largest and most vibrant festivals in the Southeast. Charlotte Pride Festival and Parade get underway August 17 and 18 in uptown Charlotte. Organizers tout this is ‘more than just a festival.’ Charlotte Pride serves the community, so it’s a weekend of celebration, inclusion and empowerment. During today’s interview, you’ll learn that Charlotte Pride is much more than a weekend event – it’s not just drag, parties and dancing, but there is partying with purpose.
It is diversity, inclusion, economic impact and community. While the mission of Charlotte Pride is to enrich, empower and strengthen the lives of LGBTQ people, it doesn’t come without it’s challenges. Join us as we delve into some of those, too.
