Atlanta’s biggest gay event is on tap this weekend as the Atlanta Pride Parade and Festival make their way back to Piedmont Park. The event, similar to other Pride events, consists of a large festival featuring a number of vendors and a parade that will knock your socks off.

Athens even has its own spot in the parade, which you can be a part of. If you’re interested in marching with the Athens contingency, e-mail me (josh@gayinathens.com) ASAP and I will put you in touch with the right folks.

You can expect to get a real feel for the diversity within the LGBTQ community this weekend and also meet some great new folks. Coupled with Atlanta’s famed gay nightlife, you can make an entire weekend around the Pride events.
